Review of Manda Bala (Send a Bullet) (2007) by Marlusf. — 27 Sep 2007
Manda Bala is an honest, accurate and courageous portrait that de-constructs the overrated Brazilian clichés (carnaval, women, soccer and samba). An eye-opening view of a society in a forced state of numbness and indifference before a surreal ultra violent reality and a non declared civil war.
According to all international standards, Brazil is the most violent place in the solar system, with more them 45,000 murders per year and astonishing 630 cases of "flash kidnappings" per month only the the city of Sao Paulo.
Kohn's initiative to bring these issues to the table give room to even more questions, specially concerning the middle class' struggle to survive and keep its physical integrity ans sanity between the clash of the extreme poor and the extreme rich layers of Brazilian society.
