The language is Portugese, and I believe it's Brazilian Portugese (softer, shushing sounds.) When I was working there I got to the point where I could tell and understand dirty jokes in Portugese - my personal definition of functional fluency - but that was over forty years ago and I've lost almost all of it.

I'm afraid the movie doesn't have nearly the same effect on me as it did on you. Possibly it's my own memories of Brazil interfering - I was knocked over by the sheer beauty of much of the land, the people, the architecture, and the sheer joy of living. But the film just doesn't call to me.
