Summary: Spooky goings on in Rio De Janeiro
Review: This is a neat little film revolving around a young girl from Finland who comes to Rio De Janeiro to investigate the death of her sister and gets involved with some practicioners of the Santeria religion. Please be warned that this movie alternates between Portugese, Finnish and English ( in that order) with NO SUBTITLES so I guess the more multi-lingual you are the better you'll understand the story. And yes, it appears to be a deliberate choice of the director to not sub-title the film as you'll find out if you pay attention during the first five minutes of the movie. If you like spooky films and you don't mind not understanding what anybody is saying 2/3's of the time, give it a shot.
