Behind The Sun (12)

Director: Walter Salles, Brazil, 2001, 1 hour 31 minutes, subtitles
Starring: Rodrigo Santoro, Ravi Ramos Lacerda, Jose Dumont

Film & Psychoanalysis with Hereford Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy Group.

From the director of The Motorcycle Diaries comes this strong story beautifully filmed with every frame composed with care and shot with feeling. A feud over land has caused generations of deaths for two Brazilian peasant families. Nothing it seems can break the cycle of violence. Now it is the turn of young Tonio to pick up a gun. A perfectly self-contained tragedy but with universal significance.

After the screening Mike Brearley will lead a discussion on the themes raised by the film.
