My Take

Bruno Barreto interests me as a filmmaker who never let himself be boxed in. Born in Rio, he moves between sensual crowd-pleasers like Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands and politically charged work like Four Days in September, then still found room for a Hollywood comedy in View from the Top. That range is harder to pull off than it looks. I value directors who can hold both the heat of Brazilian storytelling and the demands of an international stage without losing their voice. His Brazilian Cinema Grand Prize feels earned. To me he is a genuine storyteller, equally at home with eros and conscience.
