A comedy directed by Luis Galvao Teles and amusing for the simple fact that shows the tantrum of Portuguese towards the Spaniards.
It's a fun movie with no great pretensions, but is nevertheless illustrates the ambivalent feelings that Portuguese nourish about our neighboring country. In a mild form. High Waters is a Portuguese village in the interior earning worldwide fame by fighting a spanish multinational for possession of the registered name on the Internet. Are the new technologies that conquer our country, an "invasion" which poses no problem for the Portuguese. The worst, the very worst, are the Spanish and this is the motto of a very modern comedy, because despite appearances and the IMF, we prefer to die than be part of Spain and that is a fact, and a giving.
The script is very funny and worth watching, although the critics at the time were a bit harsh with this film, I personally liked a lot. Just made me laugh. Then we have a wonderful cast that does the rest. The characterization of the villagers is excellent. How many of us know such villages, lost somewhere in the belly of Portugal? This time I will not highlight any actor, because it work very well in terms of group. Okay, I will mention one, Pedroi Alpiarça, having been one of his last performances and even now, a very funny Ignatius. The photography is magnificent, this contributed to the breathtaking scenery, for those who do not know, there is the village, called Dornes and is located 10 km from Ferreira do Zêzere in the district of Santarém. Good movie!
