Earth Entranced: Review

starstarstarstar
The leading spokesman of the cinema novo movement from Brazil, Glauber Rocha, created this film about a man trapped in the middle of unstable and dishonest politics. Filho is the writer, shot at the beginning of the picture, who traces the events that have lead to his present circumstance. He had abandoned a more rigid party leader in order to back the liberal candidate, a man who wins the election but does not fulfill the promises he made during his campaign. Disillusioned with the direction of his country's politics, Filho attempts to retire to his writing but, upon the insistence of his girl friend, Glauce Rocha, is right back in the middle of the turmoil. Filho's eventual downfall comes when he attempts to convince the country's leader to take a certain course and is then shot. Though criticized for a format that was not readily accessible to the general populace--which makes one question the validity of political filmmaking--EARTH ENTRANCED impressed enough people to win the International Film Critics Award at Cannes. leave a comment
