Fictionalized treatment of a slave revolt in Brazil in the 1600's and the establishment of an independent colony by the runaways. Exceptional use of color and costumes raised this stylized story to the level of art.
Of course the story is a tragic one (we all know how few successful slave rebellions there were in history) but the characters were so well drawn and the settings so idealized that I couldn't help rooting for these people.
A forgotten gem.
