I am sorry Mr. Pinho, but no, I'm not just going to be bought with that amazing dance-musical sequence!
Fábrica de Nada functions best in the last quarter of it's runtime and whenever absurd or unexpected elements are brought into it. It's main problems come in, when it becomes less cinematic and more of a very longwinded story about the titular factory and it's mildly uninteresting workers. With plot points that go nowhere, not even the rather refreshing theme of hardships and paradoxes that come with a counter-capitalist world view can make up for the three hour run time.
