It seems timeless in its shrewd political and economic observations. It is as relevant today as it was then.

A fascinating museum piece from an era in which art and radical politics often mixed to vital result.

Pontecorvo's pointed 1969 drama of the politics of war feels surprisingly timely.

I don't think Queimada is as great a movie as Battle of Algiers, but it retains its vitality, its outrage, its savagery and its spirit.

A flawed, but intriguing work, it offers, here and there, proof of Pontecorvo's gift for ecstatic epic filmmaking.

It's a clunky political drama that features a cynical and unscrupulous Marlon Brando.
