Recommended The Movie: Directed by filmmaker Ren Sampaio and adapted from a popular song entitled Faroeste Caboclo by Brazilian musician Renato Russo, Brazilian Western isn't really so much a western as it is a modern crime drama.

Recommended So a girl and boy meet one another and fall desperately in love, except they're on different landscapes with opposing gravity that meets somewhere in the middle.
