Handlung
Der folgende Text ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
Heleno de Freitas (1920-1959), one of Brazil's greatest football strikers, leads his Botafogo team to glory in the 1940s, but his off-field life spirals out of control due to his temperamental behavior and indulgence in alcohol, drugs, and bohemian affairs. Despite his brilliance on the pitch, Heleno struggles with personal demons that eventually lead to a tragic downfall.
Zusammenfassung
Der folgende Text ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
Helmed by José Henrique Fonseca, 'Heleno' is an ambitious biopic that pays homage to Brazil's iconic footballer of the same name. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s, the film is shot in sumptuous black and white cinematography reminiscent of film noir classics. While the story focuses on Heleno's incredible talent and his tumultuous journey towards self-destruction, it also delves into the uncertainties faced by celebrities unprepared for fame. Although the movie was inspired by journalist Marcos Eduardo Neves' book 'There Was Never a Man Like Heleno,' it goes beyond merely being a sports film to explore the complexities of its titular character.
