"Memórias Póstumas"

In case you couldn't tell, this movie is a foreign film. It's in Portuguese, though I'm not sure of its origin (Portugal or Brazil). The image on the right is the cover of the book on which the movie was based, I was not able to find the DVD cover.

The story is about a man, Brás Cubas, that lived in Brazil and Europe in the 1800s. He tells the story of his life himself, about 100 years after his death. I know it sounds weird, but it's kind of funny. Because sometimes you see his 'dead self' in the scenes along with his 'young self' and he can freeze them and start talking about the particular situation they were in etc.

The movie was interesting and had quite a few humorous parts. It's one of those good movies that doesn't need any extreme scenes to make it a good one. :) There are too few of those around these days.
