Ivan Cardoso (director)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivan Cardoso (born 1952 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian filmmaker.[1]
His peculiar style is called terrir (a portmanteau in Portuguese of terror + rir= to laugh), which is a synonym for comedy horror in Portuguese.[2][3][4] It blends classic horror fiction tropes with elements of popular Brazilian pornochanchada comedy, and parodies of the most widespread Brazilian stereotypes.
He also produced a documentary film about his friend and inspirator, José "Coffin Joe" Mojica Marins.[5]
