Directed by Carlos DieguesMy rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, New Yorker Films)
A small sideshow travels around Brasil, finding a country hooked on TV, radio and ennui. There is also a love quadrangle among the main players: Lord Cigano and Salome, the world's greatest Rumba dancer, are one couple, and an accordionist and his pregnant wife the other. They freely exchange partners, until one night they lose everything in a bad bet. They make their way to the big city and force the girls into prostitution to make money. A thinly veiled critique on the loss of Brasilian culture in the modern world.
