Who Killed Pixote?

Brazil

Fictionalized treatment of the story of the young actor who played a street urchin in the 80's hit film only to see his life turn sour after he had outgrown child roles. He turned to crime and eventually was murdered.

The film was carefully done but the arc of the story was obvious from the beginning so it lacked dramatic impact. Sad story. All Brazilian society played a part.
