chitrav.Oct 7, 20078This is a movie which is a compelling depiction of humanity:who decides whom to judge and why ? Glad this prison is closed now but what about the international prison Guantanomo..three hundred Pakistanis alone there taken in connivance with the country's government!

PenelopeP.Aug 10, 20047Interesting and tragic film with only the smallest glimmer of hope. Albeit characters can appear stereotypical its characters evolve within this film, not always for the best. It asks the viewer for compassion for charcters regardless of their crimes and status. It is touching and powerful- definately worth viewing.

60A large, magnificent cast brings this story vividly to life, supported by superb art direction and technical contributions. Capped by Babenco's vigorous, often ferocious direction, the film is a towering achievement, offering an unforgettable portrayal of the lives and plight of the forgotten.

70The movie observes and dramatizes, yet seeks no overriding social moral.

60A low-structure, high-involvement Brazilian free-for-all destined to take its place among hellish prison films, Carandiru plants a fist in the viewer's stomach.
