Production
Rocha started the film in 1975 and planned to shoot it in Los Angeles, and subsequently proposed it in Paris, Rome, Mexico and Venezuela, but was unable to obtain financial support.[2][3] It was finally shot in Bahia, Distrito Federal, and Rio de Janeiro.[1]
Reception
It was Rocha's last film and the one that caused the most controversy.[4] Because it was produced by Embrafilme, a state company, during the Brazilian military dictatorship, it was boycotted by critics and "crucified at the 1980 Venice Film Festival",[5] where it was nominated for the Golden Lion.[6]
