Background

The underworld of Boca de Lixo was an attraction for Cinema Marginal protagonists, most remarkably represented by Rogério Sganzerla's manifesto film O Bandido da Luz Vermelha (1968), that depicted the story of criminal João Acácio Pereira da Costa. The 1970s saw an influx of production companies to the area and producers such as Antônio Polo Galante, David Cardoso, Nelson Teixeira Mendes, Juan Bajon, Cláudio Cunha, Aníbal Massaini Neto made investments in Boca de Lixo. The result was cinema da Boca, low-budget films of superficial content that targeted immediate returns of the investors. Although identified foremost with pornochanchadas, Boca was the center of a set of various genres of exploitation films like comedies, crime films, action films, kung fu films, etc. Abolition of censorship in cinema following the fall of military regime, a wide range of pornographic films were added to the list as well. During its most prolific years, Boca attracted many notable directors among whom were Carlos Reichenbach, Luiz Castelini, Alfredo Sternheim, Juan Bajon, Cláudio Cunha, Walter Hugo Khouri, Fauzi Mansur, and José Mojica Marins.
