Biography

Lima Barreto (23 June 1906 – 23 November 1982) was a Brazilian film director and screenwriter. He directed six films between 1940 and 1961. His film O Cangaceiro was entered into the 1953 Cannes Film Festival, where it was "much liked for its original and truly national flavour." (Wikipedia)


Credits

A Primeira Missa A Primeira Missa (1961) Character: N/A
Meant principally for a sympathetic audience, whether Catholic or not, this routine story about a priest's receiving the call to the cloth may be a bit slow and theatrical for some viewers. Directed by Lima Barreto, the tale is told in a series of flashbacks as the priest remembers how he was transformed as a child into a person willing to give his life in service of the church and his God. Barreto also scripted the story, which in the end, may be too filled with religious platitudes and preachy overtones to effectively convey its message.
O Cangaceiro O Cangaceiro (1953) Character: N/A
In the time of the "cangaceiros" in the badlands of the Northeast of Brazil, the cruel Captain Galdino Ferreira and his band abduct the schoolteacher Olívia, expecting to receive a ransom for her. However, one of his men, Teodoro, falls in love and flees with her through the arid backcountry chased by the brigands.
Terra é Sempre Terra Terra é Sempre Terra (1951) Character: N/A
The administrator of an abandoned coffee farm and inveterate gambler saves money to buy the property, even knowing of the loving connections between his wife and the boss.
