yes, he is brazilian .. but what an asshole!
doing a movie about the Che, latin america unida, y criticando dia y noche a los argentinos, chilenos y peruanos del equipo técnico ... sólo los brasileiros saben hacer cine. Me daban ganas de vomitar todos los días.
Igual, Walter será brasilero, pero es un millonario no muy interesante y producido por los americans!!!
