About The Amulet of Ogum
An ubiquitous folk singer narrates the tale of a young boy, who apparently becomes immune to gunfire after his mother arranges for him to have an amulet bearing Ogum's blessings. As time goes by, he becomes a valuable member of a mobster's hit-team, but ends up joining a group of people who resist his original employers.
Directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos, The Amulet of Ogum leans on a strong ensemble — Jofre Soares, Anecy Rocha, Ney Santanna — 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 fantasy titles of 1974.
