"Ilha das Flores"

Es un documental con un ritmo muy dinámico y bien logrado, es divertido y creo que la critica que hace a la sociedad capitalista en la que vivimos es muy atinada.

Me gustó el humor que maneja, desde el principio te recuerda con un texto que es un documental "This film is not fiction" y asi sigue recordandonos en el lugar donde vivimos y como hacemos a un lado lo que no queremos saber.

With a perfect logic, and a pace of video clip, Jorge Furtado exposes the wild Brazilian capitalism, where there are two countries: for those that can afford, and for the millions of miserable that are below a pig in the hierarchy of disputing garbage. This documentary is a devastating and overwhelming social critic to our modern society and may be seen as a funny satire by foreigners, but unfortunately reflects the sad reality of my country.

This is considered the best short film in Brazilian history: Ilha das Flores, which obtained the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, first direction that narrated the cycle of a tomato from the planting fields to the stench filled dumping grounds where human beings feed upon food thrown away as not fit even for pigs. The circular and fragmented structure of the narrative, which would create a collage with different signs, ended up as a Furtado trademark. Without any opportunity to direct a feature film during the hard years lived by Brazilian cinema during the Nineties, he lent his creativity as a television scriptwriter, revolutionizing what was, until then a conservative language used in miniseries and specials on the TV Globo network.
