One of the “unknown masterworks” of the Cinema, Limite is possibly the first consciously avant-garde feature ever made. Made in Brazil in 1930 by an 18-year-old film buff named Mario Peixoto, Limite was never available for showing outside Brazil until this year. According to Georges Sadoul: “Its theme is man's limitations and it seems to have exercised great influence on the Brazilian Cinema through its photography, its editing, its experiments, and its melancholy tone.”
