The greatest movie ever made..!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This movie is a must see. At the beginning you think it will be like a regular one, but as it develops it gets really spectacular. It is funny and sad at the same time. The main character (Durval) is one of a kind. His mother is too. Some parts are so funny that you will laugh a lot.I did. And I am not a person that uses to laugh for no reason. For me, to laugh, something has to be REALLY funny. And this movie IS. But some others parts are SAD. But not so sad. So, be cool. No need for too much tears. The songs played are very good ones. The story is very well elaborated. Out of the box. Something you would never guess. Don't miss it if you have a chance to watch it. For a Brazilian film I give it a 10.

No, vinyl will never die, which unfortunately for the environment is true on several levels. But I digress. I LOVED "Durval Discos" for so many reasons, starting with the clever opening credits that not only pulled me right into the scene but had me sighing with saudade to be back in a Brazilian city and experiencing the everyday flow of life there. Secondly there was the homage to MPB which had me feeling as reverent as the character Fat Marley when he comes across a certain LP in the bin - easily the funniest scene in the movie. That is, unless you count the one where Durval is explaining just why vinyl LPs are better than CDs, which he refuses to sell in his shop. To me, with all those classic records at his fingertips, Durval had the dream job of all time, yet his peaceful existence was about to be shattered like a brittle 78. Despite the puzzling ending, I was glad that the movie kept its edge and never descended into the "cute kiddie wins over curmudgeonly bachelor" formula. Etty Fraser is fantastic as the out-of control (would-be) grandma. See this if you get the chance!

The director Anna Muylaert choose Durval to resume the spirit of nostalgia of people who until the 90's think that they would always live with LP'S , without the new technology of the CD.OK, this , in theory, was the theme of the movie, but the story takes the way of the madness, the way of the "non-sense", showing the wish of an old lady to have a company of a children. Although the amazing sound track,with songs of Sá e Guarabira, Jorge Ben, Toquinho e Vinicius, Tim Maia and others Brazilian music icons, the movie does not have good cinema technology details like screenplay, and the places where the movie is filmed are terrible, without any care.

Durval (Ary França) is a clumsy man of forty and something years, who lives in the past. He has a small business of used LP vinyl records and lives with his mother in the back of the store. She is a controller and is not a normal person, having sclerosis or some sort of mind disorder. Their lives change with the arrival of the maiden Célia (Letícia Sabatella) and her daughter Kiki (Isabela Guasco), when a great secret is disclosed. Wow, maybe this is the worst Brazilian movie I have ever seen! I do not know whether the intention of the director-writer Anna Muylaert was to present a non-sense dark comedy, but indeed this film is very bad. The characters are not charismatic, the actors, actresses and locations are very ugly, their accent from São Paulo hurts the ears, the story is ridiculous and nothing works in this movie. Only the long original introduction of more than four minutes without cut is worthwhile. I do not understand how this movie was awarded in 2002 Gramado Festival with many prizes. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): 'Durval Discos' ('Durval Records')
