L?cia Nagib here presents the first comprehensive critical survey
of Brazilian film production since the mid-1990s, which has become
known as the "Renaissance of Brazilian cinema". Besides reflecting
on the conditions that made possible this recent boom, this book
elaborates on the new aesthetic tendencies of recent productions,
as well as their relationships to earlier traditions of Brazilian
cinema. Inteationally acclaimed films, such as Central
Station, Seven Days in September and Orpheus, are
analyzed alongside daringly experimental works, such as
Chronically Unfeasible, Starry Sky and Perfumed
Ball.
