THE RED LIGHT BANDIT

Director Rogério Sganzerla became the face of the underground Cinema Marginal movement when he released his explosive debut RED LIGHT BANDIT and changed Brazilian cinema forever. Based on a real-life Robin Hood figure who roamed São Paulo in the 1960s, the film follows bandit Jorge as he runs rampant across the city in a spree of robberies against the upper class, demeaning the local police and stealing the hearts of the people in the meantime. Blending potent sociopolitical critique with splashes of grindhouse madness, RED LIGHT BANDIT is a gleeful and angry middle finger to anything that stands in its way.
