Celebrated Brazilian director
Joćo Batista de Andrade's
Blood and Wine: A Brazilian Story operates on two levels - the personal and the sociopolitical - thus suggesting a Brazilian version of
Marco Tullio Giordana's 2003
La Meglio Gioventu. On one plane, it observes daily events from the lives of an average Brazilian clan as the decades pass, and as the individual lives are shaped and molded by the national changes that swirl around them; on another, the film ambitiously relays the various events
per se that shaped Brazilian history during the second half of the 21st century, including the mid-1960s establishment of martial law, the death of
President Tancredo Neves and the re-institution of democracy across the land.
