The Story of Clara Crocodile

1981 · 11 min

A strange, cartoonish fever dream of a condemned outlaw, narrated like a radio broadcast and dissolving into dark city alleys.

Genres
Music, Crime, Comedy
Overview
Transposition of Arrigo Barnabé's song "Clara Crocodilo" to film, with cartoon visuals. Clara Crocodilo is considered to be the public enemy #1, and he's waiting his execution at a state penitentiary. Meanwhile, the Radio Interferência eloquently narrates his story. Some strange characters come forth and even some voodoo rituals are performed to help the anti-hero. He manages to escape and disappears in the dark alleys of the city.
