The Greatest Love of All

On Tuesday night I attended the premiere of this year's Latin American Film Festival, the 18th Annual such event in DC. The event started with a reception in the atrium of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and continued with the screening of the award-winning Brazilian film, O Maior Amor do Mundo ("The Greatest Love of All").

This sweet movie tells of a middle-aged professor who makes a triumphant return to Rio while battling terminal brain cancer. He ends up on a journey through time and urbanity to find out about (and find) the mother who abandoned him at birth. The acting is just right, the cinematography stark. I recommend it.
