Duro De Matar- Um Bom Dia Para Morrer -

By J. Oliveira | Retrospective Cinema

The soundtrack is a loop of one forgotten 80s samba-rock riff and the sound of a car horn honking for 15 seconds. DURO DE MATAR- UM BOM DIA PARA MORRER

Where to find it: Buried under a crate of Guaraná Antarctica in a defunct video rental store in Lapa. The dialogue is poetry of the absurd

The dialogue is poetry of the absurd. When asked why he won't just hand over the ticket, Tostão growls: “Café passado não se bebe frio, e homem feito não se dobra pra gringo de terno.” (Brewed coffee isn’t drunk cold, and a grown man doesn’t fold for a gringo in a suit.) Duro de Matar: Um Bom Dia para Morrer is not a good movie

☕☕☕ (Three cold coffees out of five). Watch it with friends, alcohol, and zero respect for continuity.

Duro de Matar: Um Bom Dia para Morrer is not a good movie. It is a sacred text. It captures a specific moment in Brazilian genre cinema where budget was zero, ambition was infinite, and logic was the first victim. It is a wonderful bad morning to die, but a hilarious afternoon to watch.
