Memórias Póstumas is the movie that I chose to write about for my Brazilian Film class.
It is based the book, "Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas", written in 1881
by Machado de Assis.
Basically, the protagonist, Brás Cubas,
narrates his life story to you.... after he has passed away. The movie
is filled with moments of subtle humor:
"Linda.... mas, coxa." ("Beautiful.... but lame.")
This is definitely a good one.. too bad you can only get it in Brazil!

The chick Sonia Braga played both Marcela in “Memorias póstumas de Brás Cubas” and Gabriela in “Gabriela”. Bam!!

Holy crap, Juan. I had been trying to figure that out all day!! Sonia Braga was even on the Cosby Show!!!! I think she had a small part though, as someone’s wife.
You blew me away!
