Central Station

CENTRAL STATION (TWO ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS!) Surely the most impressive film to emerge from South America this decade, CENTRAL STATION is that rarest of achievements - a film that speaks to the head while it touches the heart. This affecting yet often humorous story centers around the road trip of an unlikely duo: a bitter old woman who writes (and rarely posts) letters for Rio's illiterate at the central train station, and a young boy who loses his mother in a bus accident right outside the station. Resisting her initial impulse to make a quick profit off the child, the old woman commits to returning him to his father in Brazil's remote Northeast. The two plunge into the wild landscape, traveling by buses and trucks as they venture deeper into the country and their own hearts. Winner of Best Picture & Best Actress awards at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival and named Best Foreign Film of the Year by the National Board of Review.
