This award-winning 1981 film is as realistic a portrait as exists about the struggles of working-class families in industrializing Brazilian cities. The two families whose stories are told, live out the contradictions, violence, and almost overwhelming difficulties that are part of living in Sao Paulo, Latin America's most industrialized metropolis. The film won Fernanda Montenegro (CENTRAL STATION) one of her first international best actress awards, and the film itself was awarded the Special Jury Prize in 1981 at the Cannes Film Festival. It's definitely one of the best films to have come out of Brazil in the 80's.他们不用黑领带的获奖情况:第38届威尼斯电影节——主竞赛单元金狮奖(提名)——莱昂·赫兹曼第38届威尼斯电影节——评审团特别奖——莱昂·赫兹曼第38届威尼斯电影节——费比西奖(国际影评人联盟奖)最佳影片——莱昂·赫兹曼
