Limite ([lĩˈmitʃi], meaning "Limit" or "Border") is a film by Brazilian director and writer Mário Peixoto (1908–92), filmed in 1930 and first screened in 1931.

Sometimes cited as the greatest of all Brazilian films, this 120-minute silent experimental feature by novelist Peixoto, who never completed another film, was seen by Orson Welles and won the admiration of everyone from Sergei Eisenstein to Georges Sadoul to Walter Salles.

Synopsis

Un homme et deux femmes dérivent en mer sur un canot. Épuisés, ils ont cessé de ramer laissant le destin faire son œuvre. L'une des femmes raconte qu'elle s'est échappée de prison mais qu'elle n'a pas, par la suite, retrouvé l'équilibre souhaité. La presse annonce maintenant son évasion, la forçant ainsi à reprendre sa fuite. Au cours de son récit, l'homme a pu ranimer l'autre femme, jusque-là évanouie au fond de l'embarcation. L'existence de celle-ci n'a pas été non plus très exaltante : mariée à un pianiste alcoolique, la jeune femme a fini par quitter son foyer. De son côté, l'homme, veuf, confie qu'il s'est épris d'une femme mariée. Or, lorsqu'il se rend sur le tombeau de sa défunte épouse, le mari de sa maîtresse lui apprend que sa femme est lépreuse. Sur le bateau, l'eau manque. L'homme se jette à la mer pour récupérer un baril flottant à la surface. Puis, il ne réapparaît plus. À bord, une des femmes, fortement irritée, agresse l'autre.

The film opens in the 16th century, when Russia and Eastern Europe were divided into small sections and principalities that fought each other or against one enemy: in this case, Turkey. It starts with a battle raging between the Turks and the Poles. The Poles are losing until the Cossacks arrive to save the day. However, it turns out that the Poles were merely holding back so that they could treacherously attack the Cossacks after they won the battle for them. As a result, the Poles become masters of Ukraine and the Cossacks are subjugated. Taras Bulba, one of the Cossack officers, returns home to raise his family but now it is under Polish dominion.
