Brazilian movie Peões (Metalworkers) by Eduardo CoutinhoPerhaps 2004 will go down in history as the year the Latin American Left began transforming itself into cinematic images. Films like "The Motorcycle Diaries" by the Brazilian Walter Salles Júnior, "Machuca" by the Chilean Andrés Wood, as well as the Brazilian double-feature of Eduardo Coutinho's "Peões" ("Metalworkers") and João Moreira Salles' "Entreatos" ("Intermissions") share a determination to testify, each in its own way, about the Latin American Left's central moments and about image-making.

Well, delighted as I was from finding this enlightening article, then the quality of comments detracts from the experience.
You wonder who is reading about Brasil.Are you people really interested?
