Synopsis: The wild swings and crazy canvas of MACUNAIMA (1969) gave way to a direct and deeply subversive narrative of a historical Brazilian uprising in the 1972 film OS INCONFIDENTES (THE CONSPIRATORS). In 1789 a group of landowners, intellectuals and others, inspired by the American Revolution, rose up against Portuguese occupiers. Here, de Andrade drew the ire of the political regime, with his thinly veiled critique of contemporary military dictatorship.
