One of the most shocking movies of recent times hits our billboard this weekend. Is about Elite troop, a Brazilian film, winner of the Golden Bear in Berlin, and that is a faithful portrait of what is happening today in that country of the American South Cone.
Although the plot is set 10 years ago, the film is a reflection of today's Brazil, -possible reprisals have been avoided by placing the plot in 1997. We are located in Rio de Janeiro at the end of the XNUMXth century. The Pope Juan Pablo II He is going to visit the country, and a policeman is assigned the mission of guarding one of the most depressed areas of the city.
The movie is a complaint on impunity with which the Brazilian police act in the country. A film that swept the Berlinale, and that is a harsh, but at the same time faithful, portrait of how the security forces behave in countries where human rights do not always prevail. Here the supposed good ones are not always good, and the supposed bad ones are better than the good ones.
Elite troop is a good recommendation in a week marked by the superstar of the last of Will Smith Hancock.
