On 17 May 1931, the young director Mário Peixoto released his masterpiece "Limite" in a premiere in Capitólio Theater in Rio de Janeiro to astonished audiences bewildered by the impressive and poetic images. Considered by many viewers the best Brazilian movie ever made, this feature has never been released commercially. However, in a great paradox, Mário Peixoto has never made any other movie. The director Sérgio Machado pays a great tribute to the life and work Mário Peixoto a.k.a. Maçarico by his close friends with this documentary, using his diary; footages of "Limite", the never concluded "Onde a Terra Acaba" (1933) and the short "O Homem do Morcego" (1980); and interesting testimonies of Olga Breno, Ruy Solberg, Nelson Pereira dos Santos and Walter Salles among others.
A documentary following the everyday lifes of three families that take part of Brazilian government "bolsa familia" program.
no overview
The Night Shepherds universe is inhabited by prostitutes, priests, rogues, saint's parents and street vendors. For a very Brazilian people who fight every day for survival and only rely on the solidarity spirit and friendship of each other. The seductive Cabo Martim, the romantic Curió, the noble Massu, the artful Foot of Wind and the Jesuit master live their adventures in four independent episodes, which are completed in their poetry and the strength of each story.
The documentary recounts the trajectory of the boxers Reginaldo "Holyfield" and Luciano "Todo Duro", who found in boxing a way to escape misery and became two of the greatest idols in the sport. The rivalry between them mobilized the states of Bahia and Pernambuco in the 1990s. For more than 20 years they both hated each other so much that they could not share the same space without attacking each other. They faced each other 6 times, with 3 wins for each side. During the filming, the enemies, already over 50, decided to face each other for the last time.
