Summary of Macunaima + Brasilia: Contradicoes de uma Cidade Nova (Restored & Remastered Edition) [Import]
"Macunaima" is an adaptation of the 1928 novel by Mario De Andrade. Titled "Jungle Freaks" when it was first released in the US, Macunaima is widely considered one of the most important films of the Brazilian Cinema Novo. "Macunaima" follows the story of Macunaima, a "hero without character," born in the middle of the jungle. Macunaima journeys to the big city, where he encounters a beautiful urban guerilla terrorist and an evil cannabilistic millionaire. Part social satire, part serious political commentary, it is frequently misunderstood and misread, but remains one of the most singular accomplishments of Brazilian cinema. This restored and remastered edition includes a 16 page booklet, an unreleased 23 minute short film, "Brasilia; Contradicoes de uma Cidade Nova," as well as a "making-of" feature about the digital restoration of the film and a selection of scenes that were censored when the film was originally released.Art House & International DVD Video
