Quote:
Clemente Celidônio, known as Quelé, upon returning to his home in Pajeú das Flores (in Pernambuco), is shocked by the fact that his sister was raped by a stranger, identified only by a scar on his face and a missing finger. Overcome with hatred, Quelemente sets off in search of the stranger, swearing vengeance. But the road is long, and the journey holds decisive surprises for him.‍A few years after its 1969 release Quelé do Pajeú could no longer be tracked down in film archives and cinematheques in Brazil, and became considered a lost film. This was the case for more than forty years until, in 2016, writer and filmmaker Paulo Wences Duarte found an Italian-subtitled copy of the film in Europe. Thanks to Duarte’s efforts, Quelé do Pajeú can finally be appreciated again.
‍
Quelé do Pajeú is widely considered to be one of the finest Cangaço films, a popular genre of Brazilian cinema that deals with the myths and folklores of a legendary group of bandits from Brazil’s Northeast who supposedly fought against the rich and powerful in society, albeit brutally, and frequently clashed with law enforcement. Quelé do Pajeú is rich in detail of Cangaço life, brilliantly recreating their daily clothing and mannerisms.

Review:

In São Paulo, the greedy Bárbara (Geneviève Grad) is not happy with her work in a loan and investment company. When her boss Ricardo (Luc Merenda) invites Bárbara for a meeting at his apartment, he harasses her first and then he fires her. When Bárbara is walking on the sidewalk, a stranger offers a ride to downtown for her. While driving, the driver Rose (Joana Fomm) offers a job in a brothel to Bárbara promising a very high income to her.

When Bárbara arrives home, she tells the offer she had to her friends Mariazinha (Rossana Ghessa) and Ana Lúcia (Adriana Prieto). The trio decides to visit the place but they do not like the situation of being treated like objects. They decide to steal the database of the wealthy clients of Ricardo and offer their services in the own apartment. Sooner Bárbara invests a large amount improving the location that is known as “The Palace of the Angels”. Along the days they raise lots of money satisfying the fantasies of their clients but Mariazinha can’t stand the situation and returns to her hometown. Now Mariazinha and Ana Lúcia have to decide what to do.

“O Palácio dos Anjos” is another great film by Walter Hugo Khouri that explores again the women’s universe through the oldest profession of the world. Three women decide to increase their income through prostitution: the leader, Bárbara, is cynical and very sure of her objectives; her mate that shares her apartment is reluctant and quite naive and can not bite the bullet; and the third that had a problem with her family and moved to their apartment does not have any moral problem to prostitute herself. In 1970, “O Palácio dos Anjos” participated in the Cannes film Festival. The beauty of the actresses associated to great performances and a wonderful soundtrack of Rogério Duprat make this movie very pleasant.
