Homem Que Comprou o Mundo, O

overview

Eduardo Coutinho是巴西新浪潮电影运动中的又一位天才导演,虽然他在新浪潮时期只拍摄过两部影片,但却都堪称杰作,这部在剧情上非常复杂新颖的影片是他最好的作品。
In a fictitious country, civil servant receives the greatest inheritance in history (ten trillion dollars) and is confined by authorities because he could break world economics. But he manages to escape.
ingenious comedy about the cold war and the powers that be! This movie is a treasure waiting to be found. With a very original screenplay, it presents the life of an average man in Brazil that suddenly turns upside down when a dying mysterious trillionaire from the East puts his name is his testament. The economy of the world is at stake as he puts the money into his bank account, and the then two superpowers (USA and USSR) send agents to go after him, in an atmosphere of funny conspiracies and political sarcasm.
