Entranced Earth

Glauber Rocha is probably the most important director in Brazilian history. His films carry such dense political narratives, film form, and theory that it feels almost impossible to fully grasp them, even after further research. There is something overwhelming about a movie that attacks every layer of Brazil’s situation at the time. No one is safe, nothing is spared, everything is exposed. He’s basically saying everything is fucked and i’m not going to stay quiet about it. The way meaning is constructed through symbols and characters is so precise and powerful that I genuinely do not believe anyone will ever be able to replicate something of the same magnitude.
