Pixote (1981)

Does anyone remember when the movie first came out to theaters ? Did it do really well at the box office for its time?

I remember when it came out. Shocking for the time. Don't know how well it did at the theatre though (I saw it ~1982 on cable TV at the pub).

Is it shocking for today as well ? Sad that he died. Have you seen Who Killed Pixote?
