'THE RED LIGHT BANDIT' (1968) - Coming to Blu-Ray from Severin Films during the summer sale in July

"THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE

The centerpiece of the radical underground Cinema Marginal movement, this "electric, legendary movie" (Slant Magazine) written and directed by 21-year-old Rogerio Sganzerla defiantly attacked Brazil?s sociopolitical morals, gleefully subverted the rules of narrative cinema and has lost none of its power to shock, disturb and delight

Based on police reports of the real-life bandit who terrorized '60s Sao Paulo, a charismatic crook (Paulo Villaca) robs the rich, taunts law enforcement and becomes a public hero in an anarchic odyssey that's equal parts crime thriller, urban western, grindhouse roughie, twisted comedy, cultural grenade and still unlike anything you've ever seen

Helena Ignez (Jose Mojica Marins' EMBODIMENT OF EVIL) co-stars in this "hallucinatory and amazing manifesto" (Next Projection) now scanned in 2K from the original camera negative"
