(Seventies, you're over)

|
Stories from the seventies, told from the
point of view of someone who woke up to the world during that time. Through
a 10-year period, Marcelo and Ceres find and lose each other in dances,
bars, cinemas, university and camping sites. On 1980's New Year's Eve,
they still have reasons to dream, and now, together.

Reviews
"DEU PRA TI ANOS 70 has come to stir up the panorama of the current film
culture of Rio Grande do Sul. Even though it is a film made in Super 8,
it can be seen as any film in a movie theater. As a film, it equates with
one of its characters, Margarete, a bit of an outsider, a bourgeois and
an anarchist, whose positions could be questioned by a more dispassionate
critic. But you cannot resist loving her when your emotions take over."
(Tuio Becker,
FOLHA DA TARDE, Porto Alegre, 04/04/81)
"When you see a film with the qualities of DEU PRA TI ANOS 70 you can really
understand the meaning of the expression 'popular art'. It is the art that
speaks about the people, about persons, and knows how to do it, without
resorting to naivety to move you, to make you laugh and to make you think."
(Hélio
Nascimento, JORNAL DO COMÉRCIO, Porto Alegre, 13/05/81)
"It is impossible not to be excited with the teenagers who show up on the
screen, with their dreams, their disillusions, their dramas - and their
comical simplicity (a bit like in SUMMER OF '42 and AMERICAN GRAFITTI).
Moreover, it is a film about Porto Alegre, about Rio Grande do Sul, our
people, our slang. And that, in a city and in a state that are simply unable
to preserve their cultural values, is of the utmost importance."
(Moacyr Scliar,
ZERO HORA, Porto Alegre, 25/05/81)
"The directors managed to mix the right amounts of local cultural references
(the southern accent gives the film a special charm) and external influences
(homages to Fellini and Lelouch, specially his Toute Une Vie - And Now
My Love). If it is analysed adequately, it is evident that the film's structure
is highly complex, foregoing the traditional flashbacks in order to use
fragmented situations at different point in time, using the couple (Ceres
and Marcelo) as the thread of the story, following them from being merely
acquaintances until they find out they are in love with each other."
(Rubens Ewald
Filho, O ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO, 27/06/81)
