Review of Maids (2001) by Charles H — 20 May 2009
This film gives a lighter look at the lives of Brazilian maids, (in this particular film, 5 maids). Each of them has their own hopes and dreams, and this film explores how they attain them. However, after attaining them, it doesn't really make their lives better.
This film could possibly be a drama, but it was told in a comedic way. Fernando Meirelles' direction is still, marvelous, and also Nando Olival's. I wonder, if this film omits the comedy style of making a movie, surely this must be a depressing film, lol.
One of the characters in the film says this, "No child sets out to become a maid. But once there, are all other doors closed?". A fan of Brazilian movie? Watch it.
