TRES VEROES (THREE SUMMERS)

Watchable. A typical contemporary Brazilian story of a strong woman among the rich. Madá, acted by Regina Casé, is the highlight of this uplifting tale. She's vivacious and has an amiable manner and it's her that makes the movie worthwhile. The film itself could do with a better pacing, South American way it's unhurried which deprives the plot of much of the amusement and some suspense it could have otherwise. It retains some humour in the boat trip scene, where the guide lists who's in prison and who isn't. A handful of v istas of the majestic coastline are the icing on the cake.
