Cristove Vianna

Cristove Vianna (c. 1942-1986) was a Brunanter film director and occasional actor, widely considered to be one of Brunant's best, alongside Herbert S. Hosen.

Biography
Vianna was born to a traditional Barzuna family in Brezonde. Unlike them, Vianna wanted to be free and enjoyed the wierd and the wonderful. At the age of 15 (or 16), Vianna was involved in a relationship with a 30-year-old American woman and since then, he did not stop going after women.

Vianna's first films were made in the mid 1960s and his first feature film debuted in 1968 to largely negative reviews from a conservative media. His style was said to be "an expression of his exotic fantasies on the big screen" and often considered to be an expression of who he was, in opposition to his traditional childhood.

His first big film was Hipnosis in 1969. This was followed by The Magician in 1972 and Me, You and Him in 1974. His biggest success came with 20 Hours in 1976. He was thrust into the spotlight but subsequent films were rather poorly made. They included Little Black Book (1977), At Sea (1979) and Murder Deep Inside (1981) His last film was made in 1981, after which he decided never to do film again.

Many of his films can be said to reflect Vianna's life: The Magician and Little Black Book (his wild sex life) and 20 Hours (his troubled personal life).

Personal life
Vianna was involved with many women and had no respect at all. While a great director, he had a troubled and difficult personal life. He was known for being dominating, for hitting women and for never being the same person of the day before. He was a serial smoker and heavy drinker, and though he never really went for drugs, was always in trances and strange states of being. Keen on experimentation, Vianna's personal life shocked the nation when it was revealed he had sexual relations with men as well.
