Excellent documentary about brilliant Brazilian leftist cartoonist and multi-artist Henfil, who opposed military dictatorship with creativity, dark humor and a lot of talent. His unique drawing, his fast thinking, the illness that killed him too early (haemophilia), his unforgettable characters... everything is very well discussed and shown, particularly if we consider that this is not a long film. The animation in the end, which is discussed along the film, is very nice and I would love to watch it in a full movie! By listening to Henfil we notice how intelligent he was, always thinking about politics, culture and media in a very Gramscinian way. There is a single misinformation in the whole documentary: cartoonist Jaguar says the movie Henfil directed, "Tanga (Deu no New York Times)", was awful. That is not true; I have watched it and it was very funny, amusing, clever and innovative! Do you a favor and watch both Henfil movies!
