Review of Carandiru (2003) by Evan K — 15 Jul 2008
Ehh. Looks plastic, overly lit and too stylized to feel real which also mixes with a load of good and bad acting. Tries so hard to humanize the criminals it forgets to make them look like criminals, instead I felt that I was watching a really shitty frat house were people party and do bad things all day with no consequence.
Too much is assumed and way too much is left out to earn the titles book ending the film. We can never assume that we have power for simply speaking and we should never assume a well made film is a good film.
