An astonishing creation, Limite is the only feature by the Brazilian director and author Mário Peixoto, made when he was just twenty-two years old. Inspired by a haunting André Kertész photograph on the cover of a French magazine, this avant-garde silent masterpiece centers on a man and two women lost at sea, their pasts unfolding through flashbacks propelled by the music of Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, and others.
Limite is the kind of abstract film, where the author behind it, Peixoto (as director, scenarist, producer, editor, cameraperson and I'm sure protectionist for that splendid "Carlito" Charlie Chaplin scene taken from The Adventurer), is out to create a distinct and practically unrelenting mood that cinema can indeed express, that I don't think I would have had the attention span or patience for ten or fifteen years ago.

Limite’s poetic language emanates from its images, the way those images are juxtaposed and the accompanying score including Satie, Debussy, Borodin, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Franck. Peixoto’s editing is reminiscent of Sergei Eisenstein (Сергей Эйзенштейн) and Dziga Vertov (Дзига Вертов).
