(A Serious man)
(35 mm, 18 min, color, 1996)
|
Hilário Pestana, the most famous, funniest
and, ironically, the saddest of Brazilian actors, has died. Hilário
participated in several phases of Brazilian film history: the comedies,
the Vera Cruz classics, the erotic comedies and experimental films. Audiences
adored him, but all he wanted was to be a serious man.
