Lower City

 

aka: Cidade Baixa
Brazil 2005, 98 minutes
Dir. Sergio Machado
In Portuguese with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

Feat. Lazaro Ramos, Jose Dumont

 

Aroview: Sensual, if sordid Latin American affair lustily relaying an ongoing threesome between two poverty-stricken ferrymen and a gorgeous Salvadorian prostitute in vibrant urban Brazil.

Focusing on working-class life in northern Brazil, the set-up is certainly familiar, though the sexual angst feels ready to explode at any moment, heightened by the three remarkably attractive leads, and the Brazilian rhythm of life. Similar in theme to the classic Mexican film Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, this also bears worthy comparison to the trail-blazing Brazilian hit, CITY OF GOD.
