O Auto da Compadecida
O Auto da Compadecida is a 2000 Brazilian comedy film, directed by Guel Arraes, with a screenplay by Arraes and Adriana Falcão. It is based on the 1955 play of almost the same name by Ariano Suassuna.
The plot concerns the adventures of João Grilo (Matheus Natchergaele) and Chicó (Selton Mello), the most cowardly of men. The lively João Grilo and the tricky Chicó are poor guys who cheat a bunch of people in a small northeast Brazilian town. But when they die, they have to be judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary, before they are admitted to paradise.
The film was a critical and commercial success in Brazil and in some South American countries like Chile and Venezuela. It was not as well-received in Englishspeaking countries.
