Quatre cavaliers de l’Apocalypse, un prophète noir, un bandit, un militaire et un marginal, chacun représentatif des cultures africaines, amérindiennes et européennes qui forment le Brésil, répondent à l’appel messianique de John Brahms. La mission de ce dernier est simple : « détruire la Terre, cette planète petite et pauvre ». (LaCinetek)
(plus)Critiques (1)
The pearl necklace explosively unravels disparate scenes of Brazilian carnival dancers from the Third World, connected by a thread of ecstatic resistance against everything that turns misery into misery and turns the poor into the poor - thereby resisting itself. This is formally manifested in irony toward its critical discourses and the discourse of film as such. Perhaps it won't be more stereotypical symbolic violence if I say that this film, in the style of more animalistic late Cinema Novo, activates the strongest of South American temperament. Under the parade of unrestrained images and proclamations, as a viewer in the Sambadrome stands, you can sense their common latent Dionysian energy, a carnal carnival of the will for freedom, redemption, and the struggle in the blood of dignity that will not be tamed by any capitalist, white man from the North, or any critical theory. The will for the growth of life, sprouting from the muck of the global South.
