Dirty Hearts
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQr67gr_EqaAu60nLu3C7O-9MKlmTc16hhh4q-HDWBP7Bxp5CYzGQ
2011. Brazil. Directed by Vicente Amorim. Based on the novel by Fernando Morais. When Japan’s surrender ended World War II, a new war started in Brazil, between Japanese immigrants who accepted the defeat and those who did not. Dirty Hearts tells the little-known story of this delicate time through the eyes of a woman whose husband becomes embroiled with the Shindo Renmei, a Japanese-Brazilian terrorist group active in São Paulo in the 1940s. Her mounting horror is palpable as she and their small daughter watch him succumb to nationalism and fanaticism. Neighbor turns against neighbor in their isolated, alienated community of immigrants who are already treated like second-class citizens by the native Brazilians. In Japanese and Portuguese; English subtitles. 107 min.

2011. Brazil. Directed by José Henrique Fonseca. Handsome, intelligent, and born into a wealthy family, Heleno de Freitas had one boyhood dream: to play football. Yet his chances of playing for Brazil in the World Cup faded when World War II led to the cancellation of the 1942 and 1946 tournaments. By the next World Cup, in 1950, his career—and his health—were on the wane. In a reflection of the decreasing prosperity of Brazil during the 1940s, the weight of real life crushed Heleno’s great promise and dreams. The film’s flashbacks, shot in gorgeously lit black-and-white, re-create the glamorous, romantic Rio of the 1940s as an oasis amid chaos. Santoro’s strong lead performance, based on the real life of Brazil’s first soccer star, Botafogo legend Heleno de Freitas, opens up the story to belong to anyone who has ever been consumed by the very dream that first inspired them. Portuguese with English subtitles. 107 min.

10:30am-1:00p.m.
From farms to pushcarts to markets to the kitchen table, join us as we explore the ever-changing cultural and gastronomic landscape of East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Once known for its pickles and kosher meat, the neighborhood today serves up herbal teas from Mexico, sounds of salsa, and traditional foods and products from Latin American countries. Based on oral histories with neighborhood residents, this tour explores the history of Brooklyn’s “Avenue of Puerto Rico” – once the heart of a Jewish community – and takes an in-depth look at the Moore Street Market, built in 1941 to mark the end of the pushcart era and today a centerpiece of the Spanish-speaking community. By the end of the tour, you’ll be equipped with new knowledge about Latin American ingredients and a booklet of traditional recipes to help you recreate the tastes and smells of the market in your own home. Tickets: $39/person (10% off for BHS members — call 718.222.4111 for discount). Advance ticket purchase is required.

2011. Brazil. Directed by Wolney Oliveira. For more than half a century Durvinha and Moreno hid their real identities, even from their own children, who grew up thinking their parents’ names were Jovina Maria da Conceição and José Antonio Souto. The truth was only revealed when Moreno, at age 95, decided to share the heavy weight of memory with his children and reunite with living relatives—including his first child. Despite its traditional structure, this documentary tells the very unusual story of a duo who had once belonged to a gang led by the legendary Lampião, the most famous and controversial leader of the cangaço peasant bandits of northeastern Brazil. The revelation turns Durvinha and Moreno into folk heroes, and the film captures how the disclosure of their true past affects their relationships with family, friends, and strangers. Portuguese with English subtitles. 79 min.

2011. Brazil. Directed by Kiko Goifman, Claudia Priscilla. By the time we meet him wandering alone on a deserted road, Silvyo Lucio’s story is already intriguingly complex: born a woman, she lived as a lesbian before eventually becoming a man. In this road-movie trip through northeastern Brazil, Silvyo searches for a family and for a medical answer to he and his wife’s greatest wish: to have a child who shares their DNA. While on the road, he meets with people from different minorities—others who feel different, outcast. As he goes deeper into the sertão, Silvyo’s own story surfaces, rich with the pain of transition and transformation in the face of a traditional, fundamentalist upbringing. This is a revealing portrait of a resilient human being’s struggle through trauma toward acceptance and hope—a search for what it is to be a man from the wilderness, “a real macho.” Portuguese with English subtitles. 77 min.

2010. Brazil. Directed by Eryk Rocha. With Fernando Bezerra, José Paes de Lira, Luciana Domschke. Bezerra gives an astonishingly organic performance as Expedito, a retired, brooding sixty-something who has lost all ties to life and aimlessly walks the streets of downtown Rio de Janeiro unnoticed, sidelined by the frantic pace of the metropolis. His almost imperceptible steps toward rejoining the living are marked by the film’s intricate sound design, which forms the backbone of what is essentially a cinematic poem teetering between documentary and fiction. Listening in on the dramas of others, either on his ever-present radio or in conversations overheard in the streets and crowded restaurants, he gradually makes these sounds part of his own reality. The gorgeous black-and-white cinematography allows Rocha to play with past and present, mixing what was and what is into a beautifully calibrated feature debut. Portuguese with English subtitles. 125 min.

5 x Favela: Now By Ourselves

2010. Brazil. This five-episode film was created and developed entirely by young Rio de Janeiro favela residents who took part in introductory workshops and attended master classes with some of Brazil’s most experienced directors. The result is an omnibus comprising five independent narratives, both comic and tragic, which reflect the multifarious facets of daily life in the favela, and steer away from the stereotypes of crime and violence that generally apply to cinematic images of these communities. Portuguese with English subtitles. 103 min.

2011. Brazil. Directed by Selton Mello. With Paulo José, Selton Mello. This charming, light-hearted dramedy, cowritten and directed by lead actor Mello, explores identity and the road to self-acceptance. The Circo Esperança (Circus Hope) roams the valleys and mountains of southwestern Brazil. Among its hodgepodge of misfits are the father/son clown duo of Pangaré (Mangled Horse) and Puro Sangue (Pure Blood), who make a living making people laugh. In one pivotal scene, Pangaré asks, “I make people laugh, but who will make me laugh?” His father responds, “In life we have to do what we know how to do.” By capturing the seemingly insignificant moments that make up life in a family or small community, Mello evokes a special time and space and makes it intimately recognizable—even if you’ve never been part of an exotic circus. Portuguese with English subtitles. 88 min.

2011. Brazil. Directed by Beto Brant, Renato Ciasca. With Gustavo Machado, Camila Pitanga. Deep in the lush Brazilian Amazon, we are taken into the bedroom of Cauby, a photographer temporarily living in the countryside, and his lover, the alluring Livinia, as they make passionate love. This opening scene introduces us into the fiery, all-consuming world of the lovers, whose affair remains a secret from the townsfolk and especially Livinia’s husband, the town priest. Through flashbacks, Livinia’s past is revealed in vivid fragments—a cinematic reflection of her broken persona. Through exquisite camerawork, delicate pale-hued flashbacks, and beautifully unselfconscious acting, directors Brant and Ciasca offer a glance at eternal love and the struggle between the yearnings of the body and the necessities of the soul. Portuguese with English subtitles. 104 min.
