  find at Netflix.
  Since you live in NYC, I'd bet you could find a copy for US DVD at lots of stores that cater to Brasilians. I myself bought both Rocha films from a Brasilian guy who sells them off Amazon. Fantastic quality transfers with lots of goodies on the second DVD, also.
  Terra em Transe is just as powerful and unsettling, telling a modern urban tale of political corruption, greed, and lost ideals.
  Os Fuzis (The Guns0 rounds out the most lauded. There are many others and I strongly, strongly urge you and anyone else interested in great film in general and Brasilian society specifically to read the link: it's a brilliant essay on Brasilian culture.
