Article Response 1



            This article highlights a recent re-release of Limite, an experimental silent film directed by Mario Peixoto in the 1930’s.  The film has been said to be a compilation of strong imagery.  According to Peixoto, the experience offered by the film cannot be captured by dialogue but rather by the feelings exuded by the images. According to the article, it is said that this film has had a radical cult following. The recent restoration of the film has been said to recreate the film. This article does a good job putting this film on a pedestal. After reading a few descriptions of this film online, it seems as thou Rohter is not the only critic who believes this film belongs on a pedestal. Therefore, It seems like a rather interesting flick to catch.
