A cult classic of Brazil’s Cinema Marginal, Bang Bang (1971) is Andrea Tonacci’s anarchic “Maoist detective comedy,” where a monkey‑masked man drifts through a chain of absurd encounters with various eccentric characters, whilst filming a movie. Tonacci transforms this pursuit into a playful dismantling of cinematic grammar, fragmenting action and narrative, challenging the audiences expectations for clear answers.
