The Red Light Bandit
A third world western
Directed by Rogério Sganzerla
Produced by Urano Filmes
A gritty crime thriller that uses a charismatic criminal's rise through São Paulo's underworld to examine poverty, class, and the seductive allure of transgression.
Born and raised in the misery of Brazilian slums, Jorge becomes a luxury house burglar in São Paulo and gets nicknamed "The Red Light Bandit" by the sensationalist press. In addition to wearing a red flashlight, he talks to his hostages in an irreverent tone and makes bold breakthroughs to later spend the money extravagantly. His world is the decadent neighbourhood of Boca do Lixo.
