Production and release

Reflexões de um Liquidificador commenced to be shot in August 2008 in São Paulo.[4] To attract a bigger public than other Brazilian films of 2010 which had less than 10,000 attendance, Klotzel released it as a road show.[5] It was not a success but grossed R$179,521,[1] and an audience of 24,149 people, while other domestic releases did not achieve 100 viewers.[5] It also guaranteed Klotzel the Best Director Award at the Brazilian Film & Television Festival of Toronto.[6]
