falsa loura (2008)
steven shaviro says alan moore can’t plot. even worse, he finds this a good thing, since plots are boring and overrated. case in point: carlos reichenbach’s latest movie, falsa loura (fake blonde) has no plot whatsoever, it is all about character. it is all about a single character, acting the same way, making repeated mistakes, over and over again. in the end, you discover what you knew all along: working class girls are easily exploited by the new aristocracy — in brazil and everywhere — and it doesn’t matter if they are really cute or if they color their hair. pretty boring and overrated, if you ask me. redemption factor: rosanne mulholland beautiful body.
