Meu Pé de Laranja Lima(My Sweet Orange Tree) is a novel written in 1968 by the Brazilian writer José Mauro de Vasconcelos (1920-84). It is the story of a little boy named Zezé belonging to a very poor family. A film version was made quickly (1970). The book and film was so popular that a movie remake directed by Marcos Bernstein was made (2010). We have no further information. We do not know if there was a different take on the book or if the producers just wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the book. The young actor chosen for Zezé is a little older giving the story a different cast. In the costuming the major difference seems that Zezé and probably also the other children are wearing flip flops instead of going barefoot. This is in keeping with actual trends in Brazil. The Brazilian film industry had grown considerably since the original film was made in 1970. The production skills were much more advanced and we suspect more attention was given to costuming.
