Macunaíma (1969)
El director logra una caricatura aguda de la condición humana y su satirización, provocando risas espontáneas cuándo se detiene en los absurdos del racismo, la personalidad de los indios y el modo en que las distintas clases sociales se devoran entre sí. La película se inspira en una famosa novela de Mario de Andrade, fundador del "Movimiento Literario Modernista" de los años 20 y narra la historia y la metamorfosis de Macunaíma, el héroe perezoso y sin ningún carácter, que nace negro en el interior de Brasil. Emigra con sus hermanos hacia la gran ciudad en busca de un amuleto de la suerte, y en el camino se vuelve blanco. En la ciudad entablará una relación con una guerrillera urbana y un magnate capitalista.
