Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Brazil's final military dictatorship years, the film's rotting São Paulo mirrors national political decay. De Andrade was primarily a political documentarian—this was his grimy genre vacation.
Antônio Fagundes would become Brazil's biggest TV star; this early role as the compromised reporter remains his most morally queasy. The film was barely released, then vanished for decades.
