Brazilian grit December 4, 2007

I heard this song on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show, and checked it out on Youtube afterwards, as you do. I was shocked by how violent it is. I’ve posted it for your viewing pleasure/displeasure depending on which way you’re inclined. I’m not a fan of mindless violence, but I do like QT’s revenge stories (Kill Bill and Death Proof), where women beat the crap out of male oppressors. I can only justify this video in those terms, and if you watch it you’ll probably agree that the incision of the cat at random intervals is also very cool. I think that Latin American films generally are a lot grittier – and the results can be extraordinary in the case of Amores Peros (imbd) and Y tu mamá también (imbd). Can you imagine getting away with stuff like this anywhere else in the world?
