“The political game without marked cards”

Paulo Martins (Jardel Filho) is a jaded journalist and poet in Eldorado, a fictitious American country where two political candidates are fighting for power. One is a pseudopopulist and one a conservative, and Paulo despises them both, caught between an elite gone mad and a mass of people who simply submit. Glauber Rocha shot it in Rio's Parque Lage and Municipal Theatre, turning the 1960s history of Brazil into an allegory.
