Review Quotes
"Lehnen boldly argues that this particular genre of Brazilian cinema was partially responsible for dictator-in-the-making Jair Bolsonaro. Through a broad overview of Brazilian crime film since cinema novo and deep, nuanced readings of popular and/or acclaimed 21st-century classics . . .
Lehnen provides the cinematic evidence to back up his argument. . . . Theoretically dense yet highly readable."--Choice
