O Cangaceiro

Directed by Anibal Massaini Neto

With Paulo Gorgulho, Alexandre Paternost, Luiza Tomé, Ingra Lyberato and Otávio Augusto

This is a remake of Brazil's first international success in the cinema world. Just as its same name predecessor was, this film is a fictional version of the story of the "cangaceiros." These were bandits who sacked towns and spread terror throughout Northeastern Brazil in the 1930s. This group of outlaws is led by Captain Galdino and his wife Maria Bonita.
