An uplifting feature documentary highlighting the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit. Top-selling contemporary artist Vik Muniz takes us on an emotional journey from Jardim Gramacho, the world's largest landfill on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the heights of international art stardom. Vik collaborates with the brilliant catadores, pickers of recyclable materials, true Shakespearean characters who live and work in the garbage quoting Machiavelli and showing us how to recycle ourselves...
This was a very interesting movie ... Glenn Close does an awesome job at playing a woman disguised as a male waiter in an elegant hotel in the 1800's. While most of the movie kept my attention and curiosity, there was a lack of urgency that should have been there considering the situation.
So this was a strange one. Full of twists and turns (some of which were predictable) this movie definitely held my attention and even provoked some emotion towards the end. The plot follows a man who moves into a new home with his wife and two daughters but learns that the previous family who lived there were all murdered ... except for the father. Thinking this was going to be a movie about a haunted house, I became aware that this is more of a psychological mind game.
