Brazil on Screen by Lucia Nagib
By adopting Utopia as a theme, this book unveils, organises and interprets recurrent images, which are a bridge between a cinema concerned with the national project and another informed by global culture. It presents a national cinema that rejects the end of film history, while benefiting from, and contributing to transnational aesthetics.
'Brazil on Screen' takes on the challenge of presenting in an organised and elucidating manner, in clear prose that shifts effortlessly between multiple approaches to very different films, central aspects of the rich and complex material that contemporary Brazilian cinema attempts to shape' From the Preface by Davi Arrigucci Jr 'Written by a brilliant film reader, Nagib's essays... make it obligatory to watch all those films again with renewed attention to the details she unveils.' Sergio Rizzo, 'Folha de S. Paulo' 'From now on every study of the Brazilian cinema will need to take into consideration Lucia Nagib's book.' Alcino Leite Neto, 'Tropico'
