Intermissions follows Lula during the hectic election campaign for the presidency in 2002. Lula gave filmmaker João Moreira Salles and his crew complete access, and the result is an intimate documentary of what went on behind the scenes. Sometimes, Lula is afraid that he will lose his freedom as president. Combined with Lula's candor, the film's observational style provides some very special insight into one of Brazil's most popular leaders.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Claudio Carvalho In 2002, the Brazilian director João Moreira Salles followed with his crew the candidate Luís Inácio Lula da Silva in his campaign for President of Brazil. The collection of footages in meetings, debates, hotels, airplanes and other places with his political allies and friends and acquaintances have been edited in an interesting documentary about the behind scene life of Lula."Entreatos" is the "Making of" of President Lula's successful campaign for President of Brazil, elected with 61% of the valid vote – about 53 million votes. The phenomenon Lula, who has come from the working classes, is the first leftist President of Brazil. His party – PT, Partido dos Trabalhadores (meaning Workers Party) – was founded in 1980, and after twenty-two years of existence, three defeats and systematic opposition to Fernando Henrique Cardoso for eight years, has finally elected Lula. Watching this documentary in 2008, there is a testimony of some of the successes and failures of his promises while candidate: among his great achievements, the improvement of the Brazilian Economy and the lower classes; among the great deception, the lack of ethics of many of his political allies and friends, involved in scandals later. However, it is nice to see Lula as a flawed human being, with open heart and very sincere in some moments, telling funny stories about his past. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Entreatos" ("Interacts")
iradao The movie was filmed during the presidential elections in 2002, both first and second turn. The movie was filmed in miniDV. The president appears in a way that he had never shows up before. He smokes his cigarillos and always has a beer in hand when he is not working.He says he doesn't like military forces, he tell bad things about his opponents and speaks a lot of bad words. Seeing this movie you realize that he is really an unique president, like no other in the history of Brazil, or many others countries. His friends and politic Allies are also showed in the picture with very much reality. Of course everybody saw the camera, but even though, they acted different than they would act on television cameras. In the campaign it is clear the importance of the marketeer. A person that can change the result of the elections, and change the future of the country. It takes to another discussion: should the people vote for the best politician or the best marketeer ?? Anyway, it is a raw look at the high politic campaign. And for bonus, it is very funny, because the president Lula is very funny. You must see it !!
