Mamonas Assassinas: The Movie

Mamonas Assassinas: The Movie (2023) is a Brazilian comedy-music biopic you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Edson Spinello.

Five kids from São Paulo's working-class outskirts built a comedy-rock act that Brazil had never quite heard before. Their 1995 debut album sold millions of copies almost overnight, and then a 1996 plane crash took the entire band. Spinello traces their path from garage rehearsals to national fame. The film runs on affection rather than mythology: it knows these were guys who made people laugh and stumbled into legend doing it. For anyone who grew up in 1990s Brazil, it works as a proper time capsule. Stream the film online on iFILM.
