Bellini and the Devil (Portuguese: Bellini e o Dêmonio) is 2008 Brazilian crime film directed by Marcelo Galvão. Based on Tony Bellotto's homonymous novel, it stars Fabio Assunção as Remo Bellini, a São Paulo-based detective who investigates mysterious murders revolving around the The Book of the Law.[4] A sequel to Bellini and the Sphynx, it premiered as the opening film of the 1st Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival,[5] where Assunção won the award of Best Actor.[6]

Cast

Production

In 2002, after the theatrical release of the Roberto Santucci's Bellini and the Sphynx, the production team cogitate to adapt the second book, Bellini e o Demônio.[7] Malu Mader wanted to direct the film but due to other projects, she did not it.[8] Instead, Galvão was actually hired for it; he cited Aleister Crowley as the main influence, as well as the filmmakers David Lynch and David Cronenberg, and quimbanda and black magic as influences for the work.[9] He also wrote the screenplay, but he felt he was betrayed on the film's theatrical version as the producer Theodoro Fontes modified it.[10] Galvão, however, was satisfied to know that the version released on DVD would contain an extra with a director's cut version.[11]
