The End of Man
The End of Man is a 1971 Brazilian film directed by José Mojica Marins. The unusual and surreal film was made on a low budget, and rather than the often disturbing gothic horror of his previous films, The End of Man conveys a sense of social black humor and tongue in cheek style seen in other Brazilian Mouth of Garbage Cinema (Boca do Lixo) of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Plot
A mysterious man (Marins) emerges naked from the ocean and proceeds to affect the lives of townspeople, the country, then the world.
