Nosso Lar: Blockbuster Spiritist Movie from Brazil
(Posted by red pill junkie at 17:11, 17 Sep 2010)
We've recently discussed Clint Eastwood's upcoming movie that deals with NDEs and mediumpship. A promising movie but an exceptional director, for sure.
But hey: this is 2010, when the US no longer has a monopoly on cinema; and from the land of Samba comes yet another film that seems to boldly go where the Gran Torino dared not to!
Nosso Lar (Our Home), a Brazilian film inspired by the the most popular book of spiritist medium Chico Xavier —a very prominent figure in the Brazilian spiritual movement, who penned dozens of books using the process known as psychography— has already broken all the box office records in the Brazilian theaters, and in just one weekend it has already been viewed by over 2 million spectators.
"Nosso Lar is the first spiritual drama to be developed in Brazil but the third to go on release after Bezerra de Menezes througth Fox Brazil and Chico Xavier through Downtown-Sony in April this year."
Nosso Lar tells the story of a 1930's era physician called André Luiz. When he dies, André arrives to another dimension and is forced to redeem his earthly mistakes in a sort of "purgatory", before being accepted in an idyllic spirit colony —the beauty of Rio de Janeiro & the futuristic architectural features of Brasilia served to create the stunning backgrounds of the main character's life on the other side.

The film's ground-breaking success, with musical tracks by Philip Glass, has already obtained most of the voting by Brazil's Ministery of Culture to; with the voting, Nosso Lar will go and represent Brazil in this year's competition for Best Foreign Movie at the Oscar awards ceremony —which will surely ensure its global distribution.
Who knows? Maybe the reason films like these are coming from South America instead of the US, it's because *they* don't fear the wrath of a Randy or a Richard Dawkins ;)
Whatever the case, I'm sure looking forward to seeing this one. How about you?
