A vicious, uncomfortable chronicle of Brazil in the late 1960s, when this Red Light pervert appears as both demon and god: he encapsulates everything that is wrong and hypocrite about this country -- corruption, violence and indifference to poverty -- and vomits all these sins on us. Sganzerla's imagery, dirty and poor, is the perfect media -- one that is completely sensationalistic and ironic -- for the Bandit.

A freakish new wave piece, this hasn't got much of a plot or anything particularly intelligent to convey, but doesn't take itself too seriously anyway. It's got a unique vibe to it though, thanks to a very dramatic narration thing, and it's kind of a rush.

Reminds me a lot of the early 60s Godard stuff.

O Rogério Sganzerla chupou Godard até o caroço pra fazer este filme, principalmente o Pierrot Le Fou. Mas é legal, muito legal.

somewhere between political satire, city symphony and exploitation film, a dizzying "western about the third world" that plays like early godard doing lang with a pinch of vertov, sloshing petrol over the dormant discontent of a downtrodden citizenry and igniting an apocalyptic revolution against the status quo. all this snarky edgy irony isn't exactly my bag, but it's hard to imagine how liberating it would've been to experience such a formal assault in the age of the cinema novo etc.
