Oriundi (1999)
Love story beyond time
The film is a story about love that never ends. Antony Quinn is the grandfather who still misses his lost love from the time of his youth. A new visitor coming to the house brings a secret to that never ending love, while the whole family seems to feel a change in its way of living. Also,the film is interesting because it is possible to see at the scenery parts of Brazil that are not very common to the public in general - for the film is filmed in the South of Brasil. The beaches and the big city general theme makes the scenes beautiful and full of surprise for a public who would expect to see the standard Brazilian scenery of Rio, football, Carnival or Amazonia. Antony Quinn's wonderful performance makes of this film a jewel. It should be seen by anyone who is interested in beautiful, profound themes in exotic lands.

What the film is about
Beautiful and wonderful picture of Brazil. The film shows how the faith of a black, poor and unknown man makes him become a legend and one of the most strong symbols of the Brazilian multi-full-of-belief-faith. The more you watch, the more you want to see. There are moments when the hero makes friends, finds love, looses love, looses his faith and mostly finds his faith. Then he begins his path and his lonely way to wisdom and God and starts being followed by both simple and sophisticated people, by both rich and poor. Plus, the photography is amazing and the sound track is very original. Everyone who likes Brazilian culture should see this movie.
