Fernando Ramos da Silva J Jorge Julião G Gilberto Moura E Edilson Lino Z Zenildo Oliveira Santos C Claudio Bernardo What Pixote Is About
Children living on the streets of Sao Paulo are taken into a reformatory, escape it, and turn to crime to survive. Hector Babenco cast real street children, which puts the film somewhere between documentary and fiction. There is no emotional exploitation anywhere: the camera records and does not comment, which makes it harder to watch. Its real accusation is how adults treat these children, with the institution as dangerous as the street. What later became of its young lead confirmed the film bitterly.
