Heleno (2011): cast, story & where to watch

2011 · Film · ★ 6.2

Released in 2011, Heleno is a drama and history film directed by José Henrique Fonseca, running about 116 minutes. “Passion. Decadence. Destruction.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. José Henrique Fonseca crafts an ambitious and long overdue homage to a central icon in Brazil’s 20th century history. Reminiscent of film noir classics, the biopic tells the glorious and tragic story of the legendary football striker Heleno de Freitas. The sumptuous black and white cinematography reflects the chic life of Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s as it fell under the spell of sports royalty. Heleno was no doubt one of the most popular players of his time for his bravura in the field and magnificent goal-scoring that lead the Botafogo team to the top and himself into a vicious downward spiral.

Who’s in it. Heleno stars Rodrigo Santoro as Heleno de Freitas, Alinne Moraes as Silvia, Angie Cepeda as Diamantina and Erom Cordeiro as Alberto, among others.
