Pic has a deliberately naive look that keeps it fresh, plus amusing dialogue and cast. It should be one of the hotter Brazilian fest films this year , while it seeks out limited crossover markets. Armed with the manners of a gentleman and the sense of humor of a standup comic, plus a healthy interest in fame and fortune, Abrahao blithely skips from contact to contact until he reaches Lampiao (Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos), who calls himself “governor of the sertao,” the inhospitable outback of northeastern Brazil. Soon he is appearing in the papers as “the Arab who filmed Lampiao.” His film is a huge success, until a dispute with his powerful backer ends in it being banned as unpatriotic. He dies in a horrible scene of murder- cum- cannibalism. But pic’s final message is that Abrahao was a true hero who always believed that “the outcast will succeed.” Though small in scale, pic vaunts an imaginative camera style. Lenser Paulo Jacinto dos Reis uses a quasi- expressionist palette and camera angles, often framing the shot from directly above or below the action. Music tracks are equally unexpected excerpts from hard- driving local rock groups and period songs. The fake “historical” footage in grainy B& W archive stock is so convincing it could pass for the real thing.(BRAZILIAN)Production. A Rio Filme release of a Saci Filmes production.
