MONICA
WHO KILLED PIXOTE?
(Brazil, 1996 120 min.)
WATCH CLIP
Based on the true story of Fernando
Ramos da Silva, a boy from the slums who, at the age
of 11, became famous as the star of Hector Babenco's
film Pixote. His short-lived success as an actor led
Fernando to confuse his own life with that of the character.
In this case, life imitated art in the most dramatic
manner possible. Fernando encountered abject poverty
at all turns and saw little chance of becoming famous
once again. So, much against his will, he found himself
embroiled in a life of crime until 1987, when at the
age of 19 his short, seemingly hopeless life was brought
to a close by eight shots, fired at point-blank range.
Also on 10/30.
