Viewers are swept up in the drama of criminal activity as the film's protagonist, Maiquel, transforms from a nobody to a local hero and then to a sought-after criminal in the short span of 24 hours. Patricia Melo's acclaimed novel O MATADOR formed the basis for the film--which begins innocently enough with a bet and a man dying his hair blonde. Creatively photographed with hints of American film noir style, MAN OF THE YEAR marks another solid contribution to Brazilian filmmaking. [More]

Reviews for The Man of the Year
If City of God is Brazil's answer to The Godfather, then The Man of the Year is Rio's GoodFellas.
Like a sucker punch to the gut, it's vigorous and direct enough to suggest Fonesca may well be a director to watch.
Os pequenos tropeços morais da história são compensados pelo bom humor dos diálogos e das situações desenvolvidas pelo roteiro.
