Plot
A gangster's life.
Sinekatalog’s take
Nelson Pereira dos Santos adapts Nelson Rodrigues's tale of a gold-toothed Rio gangster remembered through conflicting stories. Jece Valadão is menacing in a sharp, stylised and cynical Brazilian classic of fate and myth.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
