For that "gringo who doesn't understand shit" feeling mirrored in

your film experience: "O Assalto ao Trem Pagador."
Exciting, amazing film that could work well as a "silent" film which is what it kind of would be like if you don't understand Portuguese (some youtube Braz films have subtitles, this one doesn't).
This is a caper film about a train robbery, but that's just a conceit: it's about a hell of a lot more.
Truly, one of the best modern films ever made. LIke about 15 or 20 other Braz films of the period, it tragically has been forgotten.
It's a great view of what Rio looked like, the cars, bathing suits--- in 1962.
