In recent years, the film has found a small resurgence among cinema historians analyzing the career of —who was an incredibly important figure, director, and advocate for Black representation in Brazilian cinema—as well as those archiving the bizarre output of director Conrado Sanchez. While it occasionally appears with English subtitles on collector markets like eBay or boutique streaming databases like MUBI , it remains a highly polarizing, difficult watch intended strictly for mature audiences interested in transgressive historical cinema.
