The film shows the beautiful and touching story of the famous Brazillian country music duo Zezé di Camargo and Luciano. However, it won't be interesting to non-Brazillian, since it is the same old cliché: poor boys who managed to climb over the misfortunes of life and got successful. In fact, even for Brazillians it can be rather boring: the editing is terrible. The rhythm is so slow I almost fell asleep while watching. The photography is acceptable, the best feature in this movie.
Zezé di Camargo and Luciano are quite pretentious when they believe this film about their story will be nominated for an Academy Award. During the Formula 1 GP 2005 they even said that "other films have been nominated and couldn't manage to win, maybe this is Brazil's chance to win an Oscar". If "O Quatrilho", "Central Station" and "City of God" didn't make it, is it really their film who will bring us an award? If it does, I will really start to believe that the Oscar is a fraud.
