Sérgio Machado - Onde a terra acaba (2001)

On 17 May 1931, the young director Mario Peixoto released his masterpiece "Limite" in a premiere in Capitolio Theater in Rio de Janeiro to astonished audiences bewildered by the impressive and poetic images. Considered by many viewers the best Brazilian movie ever made, this feature has never been released commercially. However, in a great paradox, Mario Peixoto has never made any other movie. The director Sergio Machado pays a great tribute to the life and work Mario Peixoto a.k.a. Macarico by his close friends with this documentary, using his diary; footages of "Limite", the never concluded "Onde a Terra Acaba" (1933) and the short "O Homem do Morcego" (1980); and interesting testimonies of Olga Breno, Ruy Solberg, Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Caca Diegues and Walter Salles among others.
