Sundance - Jason Kohn's MANDA BALA - A Brilliant New Film

more Sundance @ http://www.zoom-in.com/blog

Zoom In producer Alex Moseman thought that I overdid the praise on this interview, but I didn't say anything that I haven't been saying to everyone I meet. I don't pretend to be a critic, I'm a publicist down to my socks. What gets my blood running is to fall in love with a movie, and my favorite movie at the festival so far is Jason Kohn's MANDA BALA ("Send a Bullet"). I'm sure my enthusiasm gets out of control, but I do have 25 years of making judgments about what I think is good, and my track record is damned good.

The Brazilian people is great. The Brazilian authorities , polititians are the worst bunch there is. Corruption steals resources from the people , a part of the population resorts to crime, that is fed by corruption (that´s how you get the guns), crime goes (much of it) unpunished and the whole thing escalates. That´s how it is in Brazil nowadays.

And Manda Bala means Shoot'em up. (not the literal Send a Bullet- how? As a birthday present?).

thanks to Jason Kohn the rest of the world can atest what all of us brazilians alreay knew, Brazil is out of control, violence is everywhere, politicians rape the country freely, we have no shame or guts to start a revolution, we go to the beach and make de best carnaval in the world instead...shoot us!

Adert...I agree that Chicago it is a little out of scale...but in Brazil we had something like 55.000 murders last year. It is so sad man! Peace!

Come to my neighborhood in chicago. You would see plenty. We have 400 murders last year. You must be in a rich suburb.

my moment of truth came when i recall Don Corleone talking w/ Michael..."Michael, if i only had time.... I could be a Senator..." and Then Mike respond : We'll get there Papi...

For you Americans... Can you imagine Michael Corleone as a Senator?? Owner of CBS news??? Washington Post??

and you think you have problems.

Crime in the States? Where?I am from São Paulo (Not San) and I live in the States for more then 5 years. I never saw anything here.

I am American, and let me just say this movie scared the shit out of me. I thought crime was bad here in the United States, but I guess it is just as bad down in places like Rio and San Paulo. It is literally everywhere.
