| Resumo: | Cangac¸ o was a form of banditry that occurred in the North-East of Brazil between 1870 and 1940. The movement has inspired many films over the years. This chapter explores the contribution of Cangac¸ o-inspired productions to Brazilian cinema, as well as the particular characteristics of what constitutes the Cangac¸ o genre. Following a historical survey of the Cangac¸ o, the films were divided into different categories and ranked in terms of relevance. Only the most important are discussed in this chapter. The Cangac¸ o has been portrayed in Brazilian cinema through the decades in diverse ways, dating back to the 1920s. After becoming a consolidated film genre in the 1950s, then known as Nordestern, the Cangac¸ o finally acquired a proper structure, featuring multiple Western references among its common characteristics. In the 1960s, Glauber Rocha, one of the most prominent filmmakers of the Cinema Novo avant-garde movement, added his own symbolism to the genre. Eventually, the Cangac¸ o was also revisited by directors who combined it with other genres such as comedy, documentary, and erotic films. Another relevant reinterpretation came in the 1990s, when filmmakers of the so-called New Brazilian Cinema offered a new view on the subject. Despite its strong association with Brazil, the Cangac¸ o has not been thoroughly investigated by researchers. This chapter presents a historical survey and analysis of Cangac¸ o films, highlighting their relevance to Brazilian cinema |
