“The Romeo and Juliet atmosphere is present, but what catches the attention are the scenes involving cocaine, marijuana and violence, which make the film look more like an interesting and exciting new genre: the ‘Brazilian gangster.’” – Rolling Stone Brazil

Brazilian Western MEDA film by René Sampaio, BRAZILIAN WESTERN is a film adaptation of the popular song “Faroeste Caboclo” by Brazilian music icon Renato Russo and tells the story of love, blood and revenge. João de Santo Cristo is a young man who leaves his impoverished home behind in search of a better life. Arriving in Brasilia, he soon falls for the beautiful Maria Lúcia, the daughter of a senator. But as their relationship flourishes, João’s involvement in drug trafficking causes him to slide deeper and deeper through a downward spiral of crime and violence. The stakes become even greater as João finds himself on a collision course with playboy drug dealer Jeremias, his rival in business – and for the heart of Maria Lúcia.

Directed by René Sampaio and produced by Bianca De Felippes, Marcello Ludwig Maia and René Sampaio, this film boasts impressive on-screen performances from celebrated Brazilian actors Fabrício Boliveira, Isis Valverde, Felipe Abib, Antônio Calloni, César Troncoso, Marcos Paulo and Flavio Bauraqui.
