Matou a Família e Foi ao Cinema (original title)
78 min


Country: Brazil

There are many concurrent plots in this film. The main one being the one in which a desperate guy kills his parents with an open razor and then goes to the movies. At the same time, other violent events happen when two girls realize they are in love with each other.(IMDB)

This uneven feature combines suicide, torture, violence and Lesbianism in this satirical comedy. The director attempts to show the problems and moral dilemma faced by members of the middle class as they express their concerns over social issues. There is no discernible plot in this verbose film plagued by audio and video problems. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
