Quem Matou Pixote? (English: Who Killed Pixote?) is a 1996 Brazilian drama biographical film directed by José Joffily. Based on the true story of Fernando Ramos da Silva, actor of Hector Babenco's Pixote: A Lei do Mais Fraco (1981).
The story of Fernando Ramos da Silva, a semi-illiterate who became known when playing the title role in Pixote.
Emanuel Levy of Variety said that the film is "a disappointing dramatic reconstruction of the turbulent life and untimely death of child actor Fernando Ramos da Silva," and that "despite honorable intentions and an interesting life to relate, Pixote is not touching."[1]
