Improvised and Purposeful: Cinema Novo
Originally produced for German TV, Improvised and Purposeful is a firsthand look at the "Cinema Novo" movement (otherwise known as the 'Brazilian New Wave'). Director Joaquim Pedro de Andrade focuses on six Cinema Novo filmmakers working in Rio in 1967.
Go Ahead, Brazil!
Mid-1970s. When the military regime's "economic miracle" and the victory of the Brazilian football team on the World Cup serve as a distraction for the persecution of opposition leaders by the political police of the dictatorship. Under this context, Jofre Godoi da Fonseca, an alienated middle-class man, is mistaken for Sarmento, a political activist he met at an airport prior to his assassination. He is then arrested for being "subversive".
Entranced Earth
Eldorado, a fictitious country in America, is sparkling with the internal struggle for political power. In the eye of this social convulsion, the jaded journalist Paulo Martins opposes two equally corrupt political candidates: a pseudopopulist and a conservative. In this context, Paulo is torn between the madness of the elite and the blind submission of the masses. But, in this complex tropical reality, nothing really is what it seems to be.
How Are You, Well?
Two fanatical Flamengo fans get drunk after a defeat of time; a voyeurist peers at his neighbor's nakedness with binoculars; a suburbanite kills his wife over a chicken; an ambitious father makes money from his daughter who pretends to see the virgin Mary; a loving couple desperately seeks to satisfy their sexual desires; a priest tries to extort more alms from his parishioners; a married man, to survive, poses as a transvestite on a boat; a suburbanite prepares to sing on the Chacrinha show! Anything can happen in this film!
