Three films in one, with fierce truths through acting and interviews

Very innovative film with a beautiful black and white cinematography and two interwoven parts which alternate along its first half: an experiment/fictional one and a documentary-journalistic one. In the former, an artist (Jean-Claude Bernardet) wanders in the streets of São Paulo pretending to be a beggar. It is a quasi-silent film (not really silent because we do listen noises, songs, other people talking) as all other people avoid looking to him and never talk to him. The other part shows an interviewer (Ana Carolina Marinho) talking to different homeless people, always with very strong testimonies. Approximately in the middle of the film, when Bernardet's character meets a friend, the movie becomes pure fiction, full of dialogues until almost the very end! Fierce truths also arise in this narrative part, besides background information about the character.
