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]
