A Festa de Margarette (Margarette’s Feast)
Posted by martinteller on September 27, 2008
A modern Brazilian silent comedy that just fails to come together. This was the director’s first feature film, and he doesn’t seem to fully understand storytelling, especially in a silent. I frequently didn’t know what the hell was going on… even when accounting for some leeway considering the fantasy nature of the story, there were parts that didn’t seem to have any flow between them. Also, the lead actor looked kind of creepy. A few clever or amusing moments, but overall it falls flat. Rating: 5
