Scenes from the 1980 Brazilian film, Pixote, directed by Hector Babenco. It was about a 10 year old delinquent, picked up by the police and deposited in juvenile jail. Like most such places, it was a cesspool of abuse, corruption, rape, and betrayal. The film follows Pixote (Fernando Ramos Da Silva) as he and his companions escape juvy jail, and live a life of predatory crime and survival. This is an excellent movie, but is disturbingly realistic. Babenco illustrates problems and issues that after thirty years of dealing with them myself (in a less severe context), seem unsolvable.
I saw an interview with Martin Scorsese, who had been deeply moved by the film. He said that Da Silva was a street child when he was recruited to be in the movie. Hence, his actual life had not been much different from that of Pixote himself. It's regrettably not a surprise that Da Silva was shot and killed when he was 19. Scorsese noted that Da Silva's face was one of the most "eloquent " to be filmed. To me, Da Silva's appearance is instead "haunting," since he reminds me very much of one of my students who was also shot at 19 (Shawn H___), from Chicago's west side.

I've never heard of this film
Pixote: director Héctor Babenco presents an unrelenting portrait of cruelty & madness in the Brazilian juvenile reformatories as seen through the eyes of a 10 year old. Partially inspired by true events, this critically acclaimed docudrama is not for the faint of heart!
Pixote (Héctor Babenco, 1980)
A lot rawer than i was expecting. I'm not sure what i was expecting. I think i'd always confused this and Pelle the Conqueror. Lord let me not be a Sao Paulo street kid in 1980. Let me be from means and a supportive family and allow me to weasel my way into Sepultura. Dedicatedly harsh but that's tonally offset with playfulness and heightened operatic moments, as though retreating. But all of a piece. To its benefit it's not merely Pixote's movie, expanding to a whole cast of these boys, more interesting and less basely sympathetic than young master title character. And as horrific and despairing as this is, it looked like a blast for these kids to make.
