Brazilian badlands, April 1910. Tonho is ordered by his father to avenge the death of his older brother. The young man knows that if he commits this crime, his life will be divided in two: the twenty years he has already lived and the few days he has left to live, before the other family avenges their son's death. He is torn between fulfilling his ancestral duty and rebelling against it, urged by his younger brother Pacu. That's when a tiny travelling circus passes through the vast badlands where Tonho's family lives.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A lovely journey, but it's like a picture book whose text is merely incidental.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
19 Apr 2002
rotten:
Salles starts with the loudly trumpeted theme, then tacks on a slim plot to justify the clamour.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
3 May 2002
fresh:
Salles' movie taps into matters that are at once ancient and mythical and, needless to say, headline-fresh.
– Geoff Pevere,
Toronto Star,
3 May 2002
fresh:
A bleak, beautiful cinematic fable driven by the brutal logic of blood feuds and transformed by an overpowering sense of wonder.
– Mark Caro,
Chicago Tribune,
20 Jul 2002
rotten:
The appearance of circus performers in any film not by Fellini usually bodes ill, and it does so here.
– Hank Sartin,
Chicago Reader,
