It's funny how things happen. Here in Brazil, this movie was considered pretentious an empty by most critics and the public decided not to see this movie, besides the huge advertising (almost three hundred thousand people saw it).
Now in the United States and Europe people love it, especially the critics. I watched "House of Sand" at the cinema one year ago and I like it, but something bother me, maybe the pretentious subject, but I rent the DVD and watch again and again and I discovered a gem, a piece of art made with passion, blood and poetry, a movie that deserve to be rediscovered.
It was filmed by Andrucha, Fernanda Torres' husband. Fernanda is Fernanda Montenegro's daughter. They are both great actress. Andrucha is going to direct now a movie with Antonio Banderas. He is young and used to do advertising. He also direct "Me You Them", a good movie written by Elena Soarez. Welington Liberato, from São Paulo, Brasil
