About Capoeira
A Brazilian Martial Art, Capoeira was born in the "senzalas", the places where the salves were kept. It consists of a stylized dance, practiced in a circle called the "roda", with sound background provided by percussion instruments, like the "agogo", the "atabaqui", etc. It incorporates "maculele", done with blades ,and "maracatu", done with sticks. Highly acrobatic, energetic and diffcult to master.
Directed by Luis Prieta, Capoeira leans on a strong ensemble — Adriel Santana, Anderson, Fabio — 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 screen titles of 2003.
