Threepenny Opera connection, 5 February 2008
9/10
Author: Roger Young from New Zealand

An excellent movie made 3 years after Ruy Guerra's Erendira. The young actress in the title role of that film appears as Ludmilla Struedel in this. The low-city gang life of Rio is perhaps mythic, but I don't think the aim was for realism.

The correspondence with Brecht/Weill's Threepenny Opera is worth noting:

Max Overseas.......Macheath (Mack the knife)

Otto Struedel......Mr. Peachum

Ludmilla Struedel..Polly Peachum

Margot.............Jenny Diver

Tigrao.............Tiger Brown

Victoria Struedel..Mrs. Celia Peachum
