February 28: Margarette’s Feast
This film pairs the poverty that runs rife throughout Brazil with a delirious dose of
fantasy. The simple plot follows Pedro, a man caught in a never-ending cycle of poverty.
One day, he discovers a suitcase of money, and realizes that no matter how much he
spends, the suitcase magically refills itself with cash. Thinking that money will solve all
his problems, Pedro learns a few sharp lessons in life as his worries only seem to
multiply, but not before he stages a huge feast for his wife, Margarette. (Brazil, 2002, 80
min.)
