Ciao merlettà: a volta italianada da muié renderaDOI: 10.1590/S0103-21862011000100005 Keywords: bandit's movie, cinematographic rereading, foreign representations. Abstract: the cangaceiro (bandit) is an outstanding character in the brazilian cinema, connected to a given mythology of the sert?o and to a regional perspective. associated to the canga?o movies, reassigning the western genre, it deserved few representations in foreign cinematographies. we deal with one italian production, o cangaceiro, made in 1970 by giovanni fago, which we intend to analyze through some interfaces with elements of the brazilian culture. we consider the double appropriation of the genre (western, canga?o's films, western spaghetti), and the thematic updates, thinking the transgressions to the canonical models, from a singular absorption of historically defined contents.
