Deixa, Amorzinho... Deixa

About This Movie

Deixa, Amorzinho... Deixa is this quirky Brazilian comedy that dives deep into the realms of sibling dynamics and the absurdities of love. Dino's timid nature sharply contrasts with Dalmo's flamboyant charm, creating this wild juxtaposition that drives the narrative. The afterlife setting, with its Don Juan club, adds an unusual twist to the story, exploring themes of masculinity and redemption in a rather light-hearted way. The performances are a bit over the top but that’s part of the charm, giving it a very specific vibe. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but it kind of mirrors the chaos of relationships itself, making it unique in its own right.

This film is a curious piece of Brazilian cinema from the mid-70s, and it’s not the easiest to track down. Its rarity adds to its allure among enthusiasts, especially for those interested in regional comedies from this era. The home video formats are relatively sparse, which heightens the collector's interest; original prints are becoming quite sought after. Overall, it’s an interesting blend of comedy and supernatural themes that doesn’t pop up often in discussions but certainly has its niche.
