Coffin Joe, alive and reporting

Coffin Joe, Brazil's coolest cult horror director, has a TV show of his own. If you don't know who Coffin Joe (or José Mojica Marins) is, I strongly advise you to read this.

His style is idiosyncratically primitive Latin American, low budget and highly ingenious, and his filmography counts over 60 films - amongst them several which were under censorship in Brazil for many years.

Below, you can catch a glimpse of the debut episode. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles available, but you'll be able to feel the craziness of it all, as Coffin Joe lectures a class of detectives-to-be, in São Paulo.

Mojica feelin'

São Paulo-Tokyo-São Paulo

Highlights from Tokyogaqui, a small, but smart, local expo of Japanese pop culture (through Brazilian eyes). Unfortunately, It is just about to end.
