Bruno Barreto
A first-rate political thriller in the tradition of Z from Bruno (Dona Flor) Barreto.

Told from the perspective of one of the young revolutionaries, Barreto's controversial film creates a tense atmosphere as he depicts the four days the ambassador was in captivity, and in the process revisits Brazil's all-too-recent political past.
