“In the 60u0026#39;s, The Red Light Bandit (Paulo Villaça) is a famous Brazilian criminal, who uses a red flashlight while breaking into residences in São Paulo, and usually rapes his female victims. The police chases him as a legend, but does not know his true identity. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the end of the 60u0026#39;s in Brazil, young directors broke with the Brazilian movement u0026quot;Cinema Novou0026quot; (meaning u0026quot;New Cinemau0026quot;), and begin a new movement, called u0026quot;Cinema Marginalu0026quot; (meaning u0026quot;Underground Cinemau0026quot;). u0026quot;O Bandido da Luz Vermelhau0026quot; is a milestone of this new current of filmmakers. Rogério Sganzerla presents this movie as if it were a popular police radio chronic of São Paulo and in a very chaotic way, following the worldwide movement of counterculture and the Brazilian Tropicalismo, in the toughest period of the military dictatorship in my country. This movie is the debut of Sonia Braga in the cinema, and her participation is limited to one scene, as a victim of the criminal. My vote is seven.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;O Bandido da Luz Vermelhau0026quot; (u0026quot;The Red Light Banditu0026quot;)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNote: On 09 December 2010, I saw this film again on DVD.”
