CGiii Comment

Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden teens in rural Brazil...

So...if you are a Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden teen who happens to live in rural Brazil...then, this is the film for you.

Otherwise, don't bother...atmosphere is created NOT by a lingering camera but by intelligence and deft direction.

This is a prime example of a student film by a Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden young director who lived in rural Brazil...who has acquired great pretension of not being a Bob Dylan loving, dope smoking, angst-ridden young director who once lived in rural Brazil.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

In a small town in the countryside in the south of Brazil, a teenager that uses the codename Mr. Tambourine Man spends his time in Internet, at school, smoking pot with his best friend Diego and with his dysfunctional mother. He dreams on leaving his hometown to watch a Bob Dylan's show but seems to be hopeless stranded in the spot.
