Limite (1931) – Canon Fodder Episode 2

Dare Daniel Presents: Canon Fodder – Episode 2

Limite (1931; Dir.: Mário Peixoto)

Daniel and Corky sail out to the edges of cinema history to review the legendary and influential Brazilian silent film Limite. This eerie and experimental movie was long thought lost, but a relatively recent restoration has exposed it to a new generation of cinephiles. But is this challenging story of castaways something to cast away, or will it get canon-ized by Daniel and Corky?
