How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman

A film for every palate.

A playful, formally inventive Cinema Novo film that uses a Frenchman's captivity among the Tupinambás as a vehicle for cultural satire and anthropological curiosity, blending comedy with genuine strangeness.

In 1594 Brazil, a frenchman becomes a prisoner of the Tupinambás. While waiting to be executed, the foreigner learns the habits of the indigenous people and joins a woman who tries to help him escape.
