Brazil's decades-long struggle with the human cost of a brutal military dictatorship in the 1960s and '70s is viewed through an original, slightly cockeyed lens in "Body." Perhaps too oblique in its references for non-Brazilian auds and too resistant for some tastes to the standard whodunit formulas it vaguely suggests, Rossana Foglia and Rubens Rewald's pic marks a fine debut for the filmmaking couple, and looks to do good arthouse-leaning biz when it opens locally in May.
