The availability of Brazilian films in this country has shrivelled up to almost nothing since Cinema Nôvo first got looked into, ca. 1970. Directed by Carlos Diegues, one of the charter members of the movement, this old familiar tune about the contamination of Brazilian culture by American could seem fresh only to those who were not around or not paying attention earlier. And the seedy theatrical troupe that provides the human interest got old as long ago and as far away as Fellini's Variety Lights and Bergman's Naked Night. With Jose Wilker and Betty Faria. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
