Cinema (1974)

Movie ★ 5.0 15 min

A lesson in conciseness, expressiveness, and humor on the inexhaustible theme of the dream of making movies. A parodic lesson, a Brazilian version of historical scenes filmed by the Lumiére brothers in 1895—the baby, the bath in the garden, the workers leaving, and the arrival of the train. The melodrama of a couple of lovers through time and the history of cinema. Many sequence shots, as preferred and taught by Cinema Novo. Everything about a film being made and being watched. The language of cinema (shot, reverse shot, tracking shot, editing, mixing, dubbing, etc.), interspersed with quotes from Humberto Mauro, Godard, Glauber Rocha, and Rossellini.
