About O Rei da Boca
A humble farmer aspiring for richness leaves his land to become a prospector. He finds a precious gem and hides it from his employer, for which he ends up beaten and tortured. After being released, he kills the perpetrators and flees to the big city. There he finds some criminals who will end up transforming him into the most powerful drug dealer and pimp of the underworld.
Directed by Clery Cunha, O Rei da Boca leans on a strong ensemble — Roberto Bonfim, Zilda Mayo, Ruy Leal — 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 crime titles of 1982.
