Antonio is a once-great assassin of revolutionary leaders in Brazil that now lives a life of idleness. He gets a new contract and is suddenly energized. Only to find that his latest target is a young leader with meaningful ideas that will make him begin a new life as a revolutionary leader himself.
Glauber Rocha won Best Director at Cannes for his blistering revisionist western: a savage melodrama and lyrical work of revolutionary filmmaking. Elevating the peasant uprisings with colorful and folkloric musical interludes alongside ritualistic tableaux, the film merges realism with the surreal.
