THE BALLROOM [Chega de Saudade]

Laís Bodanzky 2007

Categories: AFI Latin American Film Festival

Average Rating:

Rated 0.0/5 Stars

My Rating:

Run time: 95 min. | Brazil | Language: In Portuguese with English subtitles.

A diverse cast of characters crosses paths on the floor of a beautiful old São Paulo dance hall, and the experiences of many different lifetimes play out against each other during one eventful night. Director Laís Bodanzky has drawn comparisons to Robert Altman for her handling of a fine ensemble cast and their overlapping storylines, while the other star of the show—the film’s soundtrack—features performances by singers Elza Soares and Marku Ribas. Best Supporting Cast, 2009 Cartagena Film Festival; Audience Award, Best Director and Best Screenplay, 2007 Brasilia Film Festival.
