Mário Peixoto was sixteen years old when he directed his unique movie, the masterpiece classic "Limite". The avant-premiere was on 17 May 1931, in "Cinema Capitólio", Cinelândia, Rio de Janeiro, in a session promoted by Chaplin Club (1928-1931), the first cine-club in Brazil. This film had been vanished for more than forty years, and was retrieved and partially restored in the 70's by Saulo Pereira de Mello and Paulo Sussekind. One small part was completely lost, and there is one reel in a very bad condition. The soundtrack, with magnificent musics of Borodin, Cesar Frank, Debussy, Prokofieff, Ravel, Satie and Strawinsky fits perfectly to this movie. "Limit" follows European standards, and in accordance with a Brazilian Video Guide, in a previous exhibition in London for filmmakers, Sergei Eisenstein was the first one to recognize the geniuses of "Limite", followed by Vsevolod Poudovkine. Presently the sale on DVD or VHS is forbidden, due to a fight in court of Mário Peixoto family members for the rights of this film.
In 1975, Ruy Santos prepared this documentary to prove that Mário Peixoto and "Limite" do exist. He shows Mário Peixoto, and footages of "Limite" to convince the audiences that they were not a legend. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "O Homem e o Limite" ("The Man and the Limit")
