Description
Summary:Glauber Rocha presents two films that reflect the social distribution and the social system regent in Brazil during the 60s decade. The film Black God and White Devil, 1964, fits into the context of hunger aesthetics, and it is a sign of the vanguard cine, a revolutionary instrument with a point of view before the military coup. On the other hand, the film “emAntonio das Mortes/em”, 1969, born in the midst of the changes triggered by the emTropicália/em movement and the repression of freedom of speech created by the Brazilian military dictatorship. The research is based on the representation used by Glauber Rocha to highlight the culture and mythology in both filmographies in this difficult political moment.
