2h 1m
Directed by Héctor Babenco • 1977 • Brazil
Starring Reginaldo Faria, Ana Maria Magalhães, Paulo César Peréio
An enormous box-office success in Brazil, Héctor Babenco’s second feature electrified audiences with its gritty, gut-punching evocation of a corrupt world where the line between criminals and law enforcement has become virtually invisible. Based on the true story of an infamous bandit, LÚCIO FLÁVIO stars Reginaldo Faria as the titular outlaw, whose charisma and audacious bank-robbing exploits make him a media sensation. Throughout, Babenco entwines Flávio’s story with the operations of Brazil’s notorious Esquadrão da Morte (Death Squad), revealing the systemic violence operating on all levels of society.
