Carandiru (2003)

Priča o najčuvenijem zatvoru u Brazilu, Cacandiru. U tom zatvoru je boravilo i do 7000 zatvorenika u stravičnim uslovima.
Kriminalci najgore vrste pričaju svoje životne priče onako kako ih ini vide. Životi puni nasilja, droge, ubistava , bolesti...
Film je nagrađivan na mnogim filmskim festivalima, a prikazivan je na skoro svim revijama gay filmova. Nije za osobe koje ne podnose nasilje i ubistva!
1992. godine nakon pobune zatvorenika, policija upada u zatvor i masakrira veliki broj zatvorenika. Ovi istinitu priči je u svojoj knizi opisao DR. Drauzio Varella, koji se takođe pojavljuje u ovom filmu. 2002. godine zatvor Carandiru su napustili posijednji zatvorenici. Odličan fim.


English:

Hector Babenco (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Pixote) makes a spectacular return to international filmmaking with this sprawling prison saga, based on an actual 1992 jail uprising that left 111 inmates dead. A doctor (Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos) is hired by the Brazilian government to check up on an AIDS epidemic in Carandiru, a notorious, overcrowded Săo Paolo prison. While the doctor treats the hardened inmates, they open up to him, revealing stories about their lives of hate and vengeance, hope and survival, tenderness and love.

The cast of inmates is a memorable one, including the towering transvestite Lady Di (Rodrigo Santoro), his diminutive lover, No Way (Gero Camilo), the cold-blooded killer Dagger (Milhem Cortaz) and young hothead, Lula (Dionisio Neto). Their stories soon form a collective tapestry that provides great insight into this dangerous, rat-infested facility where survival is far from guaranteed.

Babenco captures both the horrors of the deadly prison conditions, and the warmth and humanity of these criminals as they open up their hearts. Carandiru is an enthralling and passionate humanitarian epic masterfully directed by Babenco, with a gritty sensibility that recalls the filmmaker's acclaimed 1981 film Pixote.
