'Guaruja-a wonderful film' released 2004,Brazilian
Quote from a review:-
'This film is classic art-house in the sense that it fails to abide by any commercial rules and sets down some rather breathtaking and memorable moments. Marcelo?s unique artistic talent is present throughout the entire film (the first time we see Paulo and Paulo together, they share a conversation through a glass door and mimic each others movements whilst the Brazilian coastline reflects behind them) and along with a fabulous soundtrack (including Bowie and Stina Nordenstam), we are blessed with experiencing some truly poignant and beautiful moments. I, like the average film-goer, have seen quite a few movies in my lifetime, but there are some collages of pure visual beauty and poetic dialogue that are intensely tender to watch in Guaruja. We see Angela and Angela dressed in beautiful cocktail dresses sharing an intimate graceful dance; lights stream between them and their fluid movements whilst Nordenstam?s emotional and stripped down version of Prince?s ?Purple Rain,? serves as a magical background to this scene. I found the intimacy of this scene wholly overwhelming.'
