![]() ![]() ![]() To sum it up, not Ed Wood, not Bob Clark, not Adam Sandler and not even Tommy Wiseau were able to make something as awful as this piece of garbage. Probably one third of the movie is made of random people dancing at dance classrooms Cinderela's mother fights with little kids on a highway for 5-cent coins thrown by truck drivers and then dies from a snake bite the Pierre character is played by the amazingly bad Perry Salles in such an atrocious and over-the-top way that is almost unbelievable and (please, pay attention at the absurdity of this) the movie ends with Cinderela dancing around nuns (yes, NUNS) and dozens of children while a dubious choice of song plays, with lyrics that could be closely-translated as "Everything that's perfect we pick up by the arm / take her in the middle, stick it up and stick it down / after nine months you can see the outcome". Among the breath-taking scenes that make this an absolute dogsh*t is a fight featuring a countrywide-known singer (Alexandre Pires) and introducing one of the most famous actors from Brazil (the excellent Lázaro Ramos, that used his salary in this to pay for acting classes - at least one good thing this film brought to the world): ears are pulled, punches are thrown in the air and all of that is accompanied by a thrilling soundtrack of random animal (?) noises. "Cinderela Bahiana", a movie so bad that misspells its goddamn title (it's supposed to be baiana, someone from the state of Bahia, and not bahiana). From the first scene alone, you can expect what's to come: everyone dances in what looks like a Carnaval party, while the title appears. Having built its reputation among the Brazilian cinephiles that appreciate a good terrible movie, this one became very popular in the last years. Unfortunately, having been censored and renegaded by the main """actress""", it's quite difficult to find a hard copy, let alone one dubbed or subtitled in English. ![]() O, my dear foreign friends, if you could only behold this magnificent piece of horrible filmmaking. ![]()
