Cinematic DNA
Glauber Rocha’s ‘Black God, White Devil’ is monumental for any Brazilian filmmaker. It showed how politically charged films could also be formally daring. Its aesthetic of hunger, its violence, its passion — it’s all something we absorb. It definitely shaped my understanding of what Brazilian cinema could be.
