An astonishing creation, Limite is the only feature by the Brazilian director and author Mário Peixoto, made when he was just 22 years old. Inspired by a haunting André Kertész photograph on the cover of a French magazine, this avant-garde silent masterpiece centres on a man and two women lost at sea, their pasts unfolding through flashbacks propelled by the music of Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, and others. An early work of independent South American filmmaking, Limite was famously difficult to see for most of the twentieth century. It is a pioneering achievement that continues to captivate with its timeless visual poetry. Directed by Mário Peixoto. Starring Olga Breno, Tatiana Rey, Raul Schnoor in prominent roles.

Cited by some as the greatest of all Brazilian films, this 120-minute, silent, and experimental feature by novelist and poet Mario Peixoto, who never completed another film, won the admiration of many, including Georges Sadoul, and Walter Salles. In 2015, it was voted number 1 on the Abraccine Top 100 Brazilian films list. It is considered to be a cult film. One hundred Brazilian professional critics voted in that poll.
Included among the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die," edited by Steven Schneider.
The film was reissued at the Chaplin Club, Rio de Janeiro, in October 17, 1931 for a special showing in homage to 'Charlie Chaplin'. Charles Chaplin appears briefly in the film in an insert taken from The Adventurer (1917).
When Raul Schnoor is seen screaming repeatedly, the actor was instructed to keep calling director Mario Peixoto's first name out loud.
The movie was never released commercially after its premiere at the Capitólio Theater in Rio de Janeiro. In subsequent years it was shown in exhibitions and became more well known.
