Limite is the only feature film directed and written by Mário Peixoto, who was 22 years old at the time. Inspired by a haunting André Kertész photograph on the cover of a French magazine, this avant-garde silent masterpiece centers on a man and two women lost at sea, their pasts unfolding through flashbacks propelled by music by Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, and others. Limite, an early work of independent South American filmmaking, was notoriously difficult to see for much of the twentieth century. It is a groundbreaking achievement that continues to captivate with its timeless visual poetry.
