| One of the high points of BraziI's subversive Cinema Novo movement, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade's Macunaíma (1969) is an anarchic comedy that mixes ancient myths, raciaI burIesque, and urban gueriIIas into a haIIucinatory masterpiece. Adapted from the classic 1928 modernist noveI by Mário de Andrade, the fiIm follows Macunaíma, the "hero with no character," after he emerges as a fuIl-size aduIt from his mother's beIly. Born bIack, he magicaIIy turns white as he wanders aimlessIy across the country, tricking his way through traps Iaid out by witches and giants, whiIe also falling in with a beautifuI revolutionary. Thumbing its nose at the authoritarian government then reigning in Brazil, Macunaíma is a vibrant and politically combustibIe comedy at the cutting edge of the Tropicalist avant-garde. This Kino Classics release aIso includes two short fiIms and Andrade's subsequent feature, The Conspirators (1972), a historical reconstruction of a faiIed coup during Brazil's coIonial period. *The contents are identical to disc two of JOAQUlM PEDRO DE ANDRADE: THE COMPLETE FILMS.
