upbeat

- What about Podecrer!, that has the international title Right On?
- It's a nice romantic comedy about upper middle class kids in Rio de Janeiro in 1981. There's a rock band, and the worrying that they will never get rich or get the girl or boy they like, and the concern about the rat race and the military rule, and the fun with drugs and alcohol. I specially like the fact that abortion is not viewed as a crime, even though it was and still is criminalised in Brazil even today. And the girl that has more than one lover is seen as a tramp, but not in a too negative way. And she doesn't seem to be doing it because she has issues, but simply because that's who she is, and that's OK. That's very sex positive! In short: good upbeat fun!
