Free Brazilian Film Festival - Edificio Master (Master, a Building in Copacabana)

Free Brazilian Film Festival - Edificio Master (Master, a Building in Copacabana)  

Presented by Regent Theatre at Regent Theatre

September 8, 2010


Over the course of seven days, a film crew captured everyday life in the Master, an apartment building a block away from the beach in Copacabana. This gargantuan edifice has a total of 276 studio apartments housing some five hundred people. The 37 residents interviewed are gifted storytellers with colorful lives and personalities that belie the extremity of their cramped quarters. Each intimate and revealing story bears witness to the exceptional lives of ordinary people. So what does the archetypal call girl with a heart of gold—she supports her daughter and sister—feel about being one? Did the middle-aged couple meet through the classifieds? Is the janitor's adopted father his real father? No, it's not a soap opera. Filmmaker Eduardo Coutinho spent a week interviewing denizens of an enormous, seemingly soulless apartment building in Rio's Copacabana, compiling a core sample of last outposts of individuality in the big city. 2002. Brazil. 110 min. Portuguese with English Subtitles.
