CENTRAL STATION is worth a visit. The octogenarian-and-the-orphan premise is both way cute and an effective contrast to some serious- ly stark third-world realism. Fab photography, too. Best Actress nominee Fernanda Montenegro stars, along with Vinicius de Oliveira, Marilia Pera, and Soia Lira. Walter Salles directs; Joao Emanuel Carneiro and Marcos Bernstein are credited with the screenplay. In Portuguese, with subtitles. (Rated "PG-13"/106 min.) Grade: B+ Copyright 1999 by Michael J.
