Directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos
The story of a notorious murder, assumed to be the work of Rio's most infamous gangster, Boca de Ouro, is recounted Rashomon-style by the gangster's girlfriend to a journalist writing the crime lord's obituary. Based on a novel by a reactionary author, "Boca de Ouro" was a commercial assignment that the leftist Nelson Pereira dos Santos nevertheless adapted into a pulpy expression of populist urban mythology.
