Program 1 (93 min) Baile Perfumado Paulo Caldas and Lírio Ferreira, PE, 1997, 93 min. Screenplay: Hilton Lacerda; cinematography: Paulo Jacinto dos Reis (Feijão); art direction: Adão Pinheiro; music: Fred Zeroquatro, Lúcio Maia, Siba; cast: Jofre Soares, Duda Mamberti, Luís Carlos Vasconcelos. This film, which creates the “making of” of Benjamin Abrahão’s shooting sessions with Lampião’s gang in the middle of the Northeast hinterland, is one of the most riveting portraits of the cangaço [sort of social banditry] in Brazilian cinema. With the support of a rich research material, Baile Perfumado houses under the pop world umbrella the character Captain Virgulino Ferreira (a.k.a. Lampião). A primary hub between Pernambuco cinema and the mangue beat movement. Interestingly, Roger de Renoir and singer Ortinho appear in the film as cangaceiros [bandits], in addition to the whole Mestre Ambrósio band during a party in the film.
