Documentary on "Antonio das Mortes", Glauber Rocha's 1969 film.

Symbolic film from the Underground Movement of Brazilian Cinema (Cinema Marginal) about a woman, three men and some apes. In the director's own words: “a fable where realism and logic have no place, and in which sex is a translation of all the tortures, circumstances and violent actions.”

A new incarnation of Cangaceiro bandits, led by Coirana, has risen in the badlands. A blind landowner hires Antônio to wipe out his old nemesis. Yet after besting Coirana and accompanying the dying man to his mountain hideout, Antônio is moved by the plight of the Cangaceiro’s followers. The troubled hitman turns revolutionary, his gun and machete aimed towards his former masters.
