description | The massacre, in 1938, of the cangaceiros’ gang commanded by Virgulino Ferreira, better known by his nickname “Lampiào”, has remained in the memory of Brazilian people. It no only inspired literary works, but also films produced in the country. The representation of the famous bandit was constantly present within Brazilian cinematography, since the creation of O Cangaceiro (Lima Barreto, 1953, production Vera Cruz), which gave birth to the gender known as “film of the Nordeste’s banditry”. In the sixties, the Cinema Novo brought worldwide fame to it, and this continues to be the case today. In a very different register from the one usually proposed by Brazilian cinema, O Lamparina –conceived and played by Amácio Mazzaropi– breaks off with the tragic or dramatic tone of prior productions, proposing a cangaceiro character integrated in an ironic and comic context, unused till then. |
