I love reviewing old films and foreign films, so this is cool. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:10, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Passing infobox.

Lead
 * I feel that the plot sentence needs expanding. Perhaps "Starring Durval Bellini and Déa Selva, it follows the troubled life of a man after he kills his wife, shortly after marriage." What happens after the initial murder seems to be the focus of the plot.

Passing Plot, Cast.

Production
 * That's fascinating, the concept of a handheld camera in this era.


 * "its popularity in the Brazilian market during the time its production lasted" --> wouldn't "its popularity in the Brazilian market during production" say the same thing?

Reception and analysis
 * "the worst film of all time" ... I'm working offline, but I'm 99% sure that we have an article by that title. Perhaps link to this, and add Ganga Bruta to the list? I doubt we have many films so early with such a title, and certainly few that redeemed themselves over time.
 * "Restrospective"... is that actually the spelling?

Has this film been released onto any home media format? Or is it only ever shown at festivals? (ie, how would a French critic watch it?)

Passing References, External links, Categories, image (is there no public domain age in Brazil?). -- Zanimum (talk) 18:13, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey,, thank you(!) and sorry for the time that it took for me adressing the issues. I hadn't seen you did the review as I was a little busy with "real life"-stuff (and because of inattention too). I guess I've done the corrections (not sure about the quality of the prose about the plot in the lead). Responding to you questions:


 * Yes, we have such list; I've linked to it, and I'll try to see if it's adequate to include it there (as it was late much praised and I'm not sure about the multiple sources-stuff).
 * Good question (how could I I not have thought about it). Amazon says so, but don't specify by what company, where and when. A Brazilian retailer even sells a DVD or VHS of the film from France. Sadly, I couldn't find de facto info about the home media release. No source reports its screen on festivals, too. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 05:29, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * No worries! Looks great, passing as GA! --  Zanimum (talk) 01:08, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
