MAN OF THE YEAR 0000
Tarantino-esque ultra-violence from Brad
When young Brazilian dude. Maiquel. guns down a local hood in anger (the hood called his new bleached blonde hair- do gay). his working class Rio community hails him as a hero. At first the none-too-bright Maiquel hides in fear of Thursday 21 August revenge. unable to understand why he's suddenly become so popular with everyone (including the police). Soon. however. he's enjoying the free gifts delivered to his doorstep, the dental treatment he no longer need pay for - hell. he The MYSWW 0’ Picasso ‘ " ' ' ' ' even gets the dead man's sexy young girlfriend when she arrives unannounced and takes up residence. When a group ' ' ' " ' " ' ' " ' of local businessmen - dentist included - ask Maiquel to start relieving the community of other undesirables. he hires a few pals, sets himself up in the security business and begins laying down the law. From man of the year to murdering bastard in no time at all. ' -' = " 1 Comparisons are already being made between Jose Enrique Fonseca‘s film and that other Latin thriller. City of God. "damn Anima‘im‘ 2 " " ' ' ‘ ' Man of the Year doesn't have the narrative scope or funky pace of that film. but it shares a hyper-realistic visual style. ' ' " " "' H " I " ' " ' " " crunching gear changes between humour and violence and pure entertainment cut through with social commentary. And in the lead, Murilo Benicio convinces as the confused. bemused and abused Maiquel. (Miles Fielder)
