About The Brazilwood Man
Fantasy comedy about Brazilian writer Oswald de Andrade, one of the most important icons of Modernism in Brazil. In the film, Oswald is played by two actors: Ítala Nandi, as his feminine anima, and Flávio Galvão, as the masculine half.
Directed by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, The Brazilwood Man leans on a strong ensemble — Ítala Nandi, Flávio Galvão, Regina Duarte — 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 1982.
