This is a region-free DVD+R without case or artwork.

In Portuguese with English subtitles.

The title refers to a family of bandits, the terror of the Brazilian countryside. During one of their raids, the Cangaceiros kidnap comely schoolteacher Olivia (Maria Prado). Falling in love with the girl, Teodoro (Alberto Ruschel), one of the bandits, helps her escape. The rest of the film is a prolonged chase, with Olivia and Teodoro desperately attempting to evade the clutches of wrathful bandit chieftain Ferreisa (Milton Ribiero). A landmark of Brazilian cinema, O Cangaceiros is consistently well-photographed (by H. E. Fowley) and directed (by Lima Barreto); the traditional musical score is another plus.

5 of 5 great film! May 24, 2019
Reviewer: david straight from knoxville, TN United States  
i saw this in college in about 1960-61--in fact i saw it a couple of time.  i made a deep impression on me--so 50 or so years later i was delighted to get a copy.  beautifully filmed (in B&W), superb music, particularly muhler rendeira.  muhler rendeira predates the film--you can see old clips on youtube.  chandler's book on lampiao (see amazon) makes a wonderful companion to this great dvd.
