Popular reviews
MoreEm honra de Roberto Farias (1932 - 2018).
Em seu primeiro filme policial Farias já nos dá um gostinho do que viria a ser sua obra prima (O Assalto ao trem pagador, é claro), com um diálogo entre as mazelas da vida em criminalidade em confronto com a brutalidade policial, o que mais salta aos olhos nesse embate é a dinâmica entre a imprensa sensacionalista e vampiresca versus a imprensa ética que leva em consideração todos os percalços do ser humano. Como sabemos que acontece até hoje sobre o viciado quarto poder brasileiro, todos sabemos quem leva a melhor, não é mesmo?
TVRip no MakingOffTranslated from pt by Google
True case crime film on the manhunt to a São Paulo thief with emphasis on the sensationalistic press and police brutality. Very much a transitional film from 50s to 60s Brazilian cinema. Roberto Farias does a terrific job from a somewhat schematic if very angry script from Atlantida vet Alinor Azevedo. The high deterministic claustrophobic mood wins out by the end.

Journeys in Darkness and Light
Although I attended only two days of Noir City DC, I saw films with some of the largest crowds I’ve ever witnessed at the festival (although this particular photo does not bear that out).

Here’s a quick rundown of what I saw on my first day:
Day One: Introductions by Eddie Muller
Since Eddie Muller was delayed for Friday’s first film, Todd Hitchcock, Director of Programming at the AFI Silver, introduced Assault on the Pay Train (1962), a Brazilian heist film directed by Roberto Farias. The opening scene shows an atypical heist that actually works.
Led by infamous outlaw Tião Medonho (Eliezer Gomes, above), a gang of criminals easily robs a payroll train and then makes good their escape. But then the trouble starts: Tião warns each man not to spend more than 10% of their cut for a year. Otherwise, the locals will get suspicious.
We know Tião’s admonition is doomed to failure, but it doesn’t matter since everyone in their poverty-stricken community already knows about the heist. Each gang member makes unbelievably bad decisions with their money,
