The Patriot
1998
NRA liberal interpretation of the book Galáxias, one of the most important works by the great contemporary Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos, written between 1963 and 1976 and published in 1986. Bressane considers this work of poetry the Portuguese Finnegan's Wake. The video is a disorganized system of images: an exploration of colors, quotes and sudden inspirations created by the words. A sequence of epiphanies, rigorous in their images. The films cited act as cinematographic scenery, conferring a sense of drama to the movements of the actresses and the readings of the poems.

NR"They are combinations of fragments. There are no stories, it is possible to mount these fragments in many ways. »Cine-eye or cine-voice-eye. The text of the Galaxies goes straight to the image. »A text rewritten for the eye» (H. de Campos). A short film that is more than experimental and that is based on a dark aesthetic that takes from the work of poet Haroldo de Campos its "dark matter" to combine it with the filmmaker's rarefied images and the puppet-like markings of actresses Bete Coelho and Mariana de Moraes.

5.0In six decades, Teatro Oficina has done more than revolutionize theatrical language in the country: the aesthetic influence of José Celso Martinez Corrêa's company extends from Tropicalism to the renewal of Brazilian audiovisual languages from the 1960s onwards. The film revisits a story that it involves personalities such as Caetano Veloso, Glauber Rocha, Lina Bo Bardi, Chico Buarque and Zé do Caixão, brings together scenic art, ecology, architecture and sexuality, and mixes art and life in the search for a Brazilian based language.
