All Over Brazil

About This Movie

All Over Brazil is a curious blend of personal exploration set against the backdrop of the 1974 World Cup. The film's atmosphere is thick with a sense of nostalgia and a vivid portrayal of the Glam Rock era, which Stephen finds far more captivating than the football frenzy around him. The pacing is almost languid, allowing moments of introspection that contrast sharply with the excitement of the matches. The performances are heartfelt, capturing the essence of a young man's struggle for identity amidst societal expectations. There’s a distinctive charm in its practical effects and costuming, reflecting the vibrant culture of the time. It’s a unique lens on a period where football fandom and music culture collide, creating a layered experience for viewers.
