Perigo Negro

About This Movie

So, 'Perigo Negro' is this quirky little gem from '92 that floats around the edges of traditional comedy. It’s a part of the anthology 'Oswaldianas', and while the director is a bit of a mystery, the film has this unique flavor that feels both playful and slightly melancholic. The story centers on a soccer player whose rise is hilariously derailed by a seedy gambler, and there's a sharpness to the dialogue that keeps things lively. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to its charm – it has moments that feel almost surreal. And the practical effects? Nothing groundbreaking, but they fit the tone nicely. You can tell there’s a love for the absurd here, and that’s what makes it stand out in the comedy genre.
