Review :

Messy, but Very Nostalgic

The poor Zé Branco (Caíque Ferreira) travels from Paraíba and arrives in Rio de Janeiro to live with his friend Zé Preto (Paulão), who is a factory's worker, in a room in a slum expecting to win and have a better life in Rio.

Zé gets a temporary work; begs in front of a church; sells ice-cream on the beach; sings in a TV show; but life is not easy in the big city. Meanwhile he saves the blind Branca (Claudia Ohana) while crossing the street and they have a crush on each other. But Branca is courted by the dangerous former police detective Miguel Matoso (Paulo Villaça).

When Preto is fired from his job, he becomes a criminal and moves to a hideout. Meanwhile, Zé has an affair with the photographer Débora (Tamara Taxman), but he does not forget Branca. During the Carnival, Zé sees Branca with Miguel and he kidnaps the girl, and the result is tragic.

"Aventuras de um Paraíba" is a messy, but very nostalgic film. The story has comedy, romance, drama, crime and politics and is corny and confused. But there are many external shots and the viewer has the chance to revisit Rio de Janeiro in the early 80's, Flamengo soccer team one year after winning Liverpool and the World Soccer Championship in Tokyo; the Brazilian entertainer Chacrinha; Carnival at Av. President Vargas and the Red and Black Ball; Copacabana beach. My vote is six.
