We conclude Cinema Novo month with a look at Glauber Rocha's The Lion Has Seven Heads (1970) though, this movie seems to be post-Cinema Novo and wasn’t even made in Brazil. Instead, this film was made after Rocha was exiled from Brazil and shot in Brazzaville in the Democratic Republic of Congo along with help from French and Italian producers. If there's one thing I know less about South American history it’s African History and this movie really shows that the struggles of indigenous people against colonizing powers is the same everywhere.
Cinema Novo month continues with a look at Glauber Rocha's Entranced Earth (1967) also known as Land of Anguish. It’s the story of the mythical country of El Dorado where the events seem to oddly parallel the political upheaval of Brazil from 1960 to 1966. It was initially banned by the Brazilian government until enough public outcry allowed it to be shown domestically as well as in film festivals.
Ken Stanley and Chris Stachiw join Mike to discuss Rocha's film as well as the documentary Cinema Novo from Eryk Rocha.
Cinema Novo month continues with a look at Glauber Rocha's Black God, White Devil (1964) (and its follow-up, Antonio Das Mortes from 1969). It's two stories in one as our main character, Manuel, kills his boss and then goes on the run, becoming a follower of Sebastian (the Black God of the title) before eventually becoming a follower of Corisco (the White Devil).
Ken Stanley and Chris Stachiw join Mike to discuss Rocha's work before and after the political coup that changed Brazilian history.
