The Man Who Copied is a curiosity. It doesn't stick with a genre, and it's unclear to me if this is a fault or an asset. Jorge Furtado, the director, plays fast and loose with the story. He throws bits of this and that into the mix all of which adds up to an uncatogorizable film....( read more)

What to say? What to say about something that reached perfection? Are words enough? The 5 stars surely aren't. I guess the thing that most upsets me is the fact that only 38 people, out of thousands, have seen this... So then I make this little experiment... I click on City of...( read more)
