About Chronicle of Good Hoodlums
This exaggerated mockery of crime cinema tells the story of a gang lead by "Renato, o pacíficio" (Renato, the peaceful) and their attempt to steal precious jewels from the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon. The weapon of choice? Bees!
Directed by Fernando Lopes, Chronicle of Good Hoodlums leans on a strong ensemble — Nicolau Breyner, João Perry, Paulo de Carvalho — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1984.
