King of the Cards

In a movie studio, the actors are getting made up and the crew is waiting to begin shooting the film. Grande Otelo, the bungling "king of the deck", and Marta Anderson, the blond and provocative star of the show, recite in the historical scenario of the chanchadas, the abandoned studios of Cinédia. "The photography is splendid, it is a sort of parallel song, of critique, of parody, of understanding of a certain light typical of Brazilian cinema of the times, already re-created, already stylized. And with the older actors, Otelo, Lewgoy and the others, something very important happened in the artistic perception, seeing again, doing again, it was already a concrete metalanguage" (J. Bressane).

Videogibi: O Mônico

"Mônico": A new boy shows up in the Limoeiro neighborhood and he looks just like Mônica! Mônico?! Who could he be? "Chico Bento at the Mall": Chopingui? Where I live, we don't have that kind of thing! Yikes! I can see I'm going to be in some trouble here in the big city! I don't know why I accepted my cousin's invitation to go on this "train." "How to Cross the Living Room": Mônica took a lovely bath, but forgot her clothes in her room. And to get there, she needs to cross the living room, where the naughty Cebolinha, Cascão, and her (oh, oh) kitten, Reinaldinho, are. How will she do it? "Frank Being a Child": Everyone was a child at some point, or still is. But... what about our friend Frank? Was he ever a child?
