Revoluções do novo: explosão fragmentária e ajuste de contas

Abstract

At the end of 1970s, Glauber Rocha rethought the importance of critic Paulo Emilio Salles Gomes on his own trajectory. This complex and digressive examination was part of a critical thinking exercise among a number of Cinema Novo filmmakers and critics. What was the effect of Paulo Emilio Salles Gomes’ critical input on the creativity of Glauber Rocha? This question is the primary theme of the paper. To answer it, we would need to consider not only the commentaries of the filmmaker, but also the resonance of Paulo Emilio’s ideas on Sylvie Pierre and David Neves’ papers about Glauber.
