Playground of Eden

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2003)

A beautiful tapestry of powerful characters interwoven intricately with each other to come up with a wonderful masterpiece. Each child has a story to tell. Each child absorbs us into their character's universe making us appreciate them as a colourful individual quite unlike the dumb dull adults we have to put up with in current affairs.
The blatant violence represents the power struggle people encounter and how well better represented than through the eyes of each child. Quite in the lines of Lord of the Flies but the circumstances are different - a quest for survival from the cradle to the grave in the very backyards of Rio.
