Rogério Sganzerla

Rogério Sganzerla [1](4 May 1946 9 January 2004) was a Brazilian filmmaker. One of the main names of the cinema marginal underground movement, his most known work is The Red Light Bandit (1968). Influenced by Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard, and José Mojica Marins, Sganzerla often used clichés from film noir and pornochanchadas. Sarcasm, narrative subversion and collage were trademarks of his film aesthetics.
