Crioulo Doido (1971)

The economic ascension of a black man in Brazil. The story begins in 1964, when he is a modest tailor. He marries a white woman. He later abandons the tailor profession and becomes a rancher.

Extremely low-budget comedy with a very personal style. Upon first viewing it strikes me as uneven; it is clear however that the director shows talent, which he would confirm in later films.

Rating: 50
