🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a frenetic, fragmented portrait of a media-made outlaw, relying on newsreel aesthetics and grotesque interviews to explore the myth of the criminal and the city's decaying underbelly.
What lingers after the final frame is the sensation of a savage, disorienting carnival where social critique and visceral pulp collide. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Rogério Sganzerla

Watch late at night, in a state between wakefulness and fever dream.
