With just one film Mario Peixoto left a mark on cinema with his acclaimed masterpiece Limit (1931). The surrealistic and artistic film launched his film career but unfortunately due to several circumstances he never managed to release another film and outdo himself. Many Brazilian filmmakers were heavily influenced by the powerful images he created in Limit (1931).

Peixoto was born on 25 March, 1908 in Brussels, Belgium but some sources claim he was born in Rio de Janeiro. Coming from a wealthy family he went to study in England and at the time he dreamed of being an actor but his family against it. When he returned to Brazil after studying the films he saw abroad, during an informal conversation with friends about creating a new Brazilian cinema, more artistic and original, he was convinced to write a project that later on was accepted. That project was Limit (1931) and the rest is history. At age 21 he was writing, directing, producing and acting on the film, later on considered one of the greatest Brazilian films ever made.

His subsequent project "Onde a Terra Acaba" which starred his friend Carmen Santos was lost on a fire; and his third "Maré Baixa" never got filmed but he continued to write screenplays and ideas for a new film and even tried to return to directing many years after his classic film was released. Slightly recluse, sometimes he was interviewed and appeared in the short documentary O Homem do Morcego (1980).
