Daughters of Yemanja.......2005-06-07

I purchased this movie and didn't like it mainly because most of the dialouge was in Portuguese with no sub-titles. I never could get the gist of the story other than a young Finnish woman came to Rio De Janeiro in search of her sister. Due to the language barrier I never knew what happened to her sister's whereabouts or each of the character's relationship to each other. The reason that I gave this review a 1 star was because of the soundtrack which to me was the only good thing about this movie. I don't recommend this movie unless you understand Portuguese. For English speaking viewers this movie is just a bunch of disjointed film sequences amidst a great soundtrack.

Spooky goings on in Rio De Janeiro.......2004-02-22

This is a neat little film revolving around a young girl from Finland who comes to Rio De Janeiro to investigate the death of her sister and gets involved with some practicioners of the Santeria religion. Please be warned that this movie alternates between Portugese, Finnish and English ( in that order) with NO SUBTITLES so I guess the more multi-lingual you are the better you'll understand the story. And yes, it appears to be a deliberate choice of the director to not sub-title the film as you'll find out if you pay attention during the first five minutes of the movie. If you like spooky films and you don't mind not understanding what anybody is saying 2/3's of the time, give it a shot.
