Carnival Edition

The film was interesting because I'd actually never heard of Carnival...or Bahia. The equivalent here[in the U.S.] religiously would be Mardi Gras whilst the equivalent overall would be Key West's Fantasy Fest. With Fantasy Fest, it is the only week long festival where authority tolerates public intoxication and debauchery. The one aspect of the film that stood out to me was when the elderly woman performed a ritual that involved killing chickens to remove the evil from the club. That was one of the only main aspects that didn't really match up with the great carnival-like events in America. As exciting as the carnaval seemed, I don't think I'd personally attend it but it was great to view it through film none the less.
