Four Days In September

I still have a few Brazilian films on my "to see" list and Four Days In Spetember (1998), directed by Bruno Barreto, is the type of film that is appealing to me on several levels. It is historically based on a memoir of a terrorists from the MR-8 group (in opposition to the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil at the time) who kidnapped the American ambassador to Brazil in 1969 in order to get the release of members of their group. The ambassador is sympathetically portrayed by Alan Arkin. Two of the members were romantically linked in the film and serve as the main protagonists: Pedro Cardosa and Fernanda Torres (whom was in another Brazilian film I recently saw House of Sand). It cals to mind other 60s political films I have enjoyed in the past like The Baasder Meinhoff Complex, Carlos, and International Red Army
