Pindorama

“a legend from ancient brazil”

This Brazilian film is set during the period of its initial colonial discovery and settlement. The title refers to a word the native peoples used for the coastal lands: "pindorama," or "place of the small trees." A ponderous and grandiose film, it was roundly booed when it was aired at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by Arnaldo Jabor, Walter Hugo Khouri, William Khouri
