“Hinter der Sonne” erzählt die Geschichte Tonhos (Rodrigo Santoro), dessen Vater (José Dumont) ihm befiehlt, den Tod seines älteren Bruders zu rächen. Obwohl Tonho weiß, dass er mit dem Mord sein eigenes Leben aufs Spiel setzt, beschließt er, die Ehre seiner Familie zu retten. Erst die Fragen seines jüngeren Bruders Pacu (Ravi Ramos Lacerda) stimmen ihn nachdenklich und lassen ihn an dem Gebot der Blutrache zweifeln. Als eines Tages ein Wanderzirkus durch die Stadt zieht und Tonho sich in die bezaubernde Schaustellerin Clara (Flavia Marco Antonio) verliebt, hat er die Möglichkeit, sein Leben zu ändern … (Verleiher-Text)

A visually striking film about family togetherness and a blood feud from exotic Brazil that dragged on a bit too long for my taste. The obvious emotional message just didn't come through for me. I can't help but feel that it was a bit too much like a soap opera...

So this piece simply got me - with its camera and atmosphere, which resonated in me for a long time. A very slow film with minimal dialogues, where the story speaks through images of a landscape scorched by the sun, details capturing sweat on human faces or emotions that emanate from the characters' eyes. My second encounter with Walter Salles after his famous "Central Station". That guy really knows what he's doing. Overall impression: 95%. A tragic film about the inability to break free from nonsensical traditions and blind obedience to the patriarch of one's family.

The camerawork is definitely charming. The only problem is that the camera basically showed pictures of people’s lives in Brazil in the early 20th century and completely shoved away the story that tried to get to the surface ... but in vain.
