BRAZIL - The Man Who Copied
O homem que copiava

So broke he has to debate buying matches, closet cartoonist and copier operator Lázaro Ramos [Best Actor, Havana Festival] innocently spies with binoculars on Leandra Leal. How, if he could get up the courage to ask, can he afford a date? But the new color copier makes a dandy 50-real bill. And then the twists really start coming, as cool-guy-wannabe Pedro Cardoso, forever chasing hottie Luana Piovani, eggs on Ramos for that big score. Four terrific performances, droll narration and animation, and vibrant score highlight this romantic comedy/suspenseful thriller.

Tan pobre que necesita pensar si debe comprar unos fósforos, el caricaturista-en-secreto y operador de una copiadora Lázaro Ramos [Mejor Actor, Festival de La Habana ] espía inocentemente por sus binoculares a Leandra Leal. ¿Cómo, si pudiera atreverse a hablar con ella, podría pagar una cita? Pero la copiadora nueva de color hace billetes excelentes de cincuenta reales. Y entonces las complicaciones realmente comienzan, cuando Pedro Cardoso, siempre persiguiendo a la Luana Piovani, incita a Ramos para que haga la gran jugada. Cuatro actuaciones fabulosas, música vibrante y narración y animación chistosas en esta combinación de comedia y cuento de suspenso.
