Sinopsis
Glauber Rocha escribió:The movie shows a Sinner-Christ, performed by Jece Valadão; a Black-Christ, performed by Antônio Pitanga; shows the Christ that is the portuguese conqueror, Dom Sebastião, performed by Tarcísio Meira and show the Ogum-Warrior Christ of Lampião, performed by Geraldo Del Rey. That is, the four Knights of the Apocalypse that resurrect the Christ of the Third World, recounting the myth through the four evangelists: Matthew, "Marcos", "Lucas" and John, whose identity is revealed in the film almost like it was a Third Testament. And the film assumes a prophetic tone, really biblical and religious.
Comentarios
Glauber Rocha escribió:Se trata de una película que apuesta en el futuro de Brasil, a través del arte nuevo, como si fuese Villa-Lobos, Portinari, Di Cavalcanti o Picasso. La película ofrece una sinfonía de sonidos e imágenes o una anti-sinfonía que coloca los problemas fundamentales de fondo. La colocación de la película es una sola: es mi retrato junto al retrato de Brasil.
Esta película sería para el cine tal vez como un cuadro de Picasso. Los críticos están queriendo una pintura académica, cuando yo le estoy dando una pintura del futuro.
En la creación artística el mayor impedimento es el miedo. Los autores que crearon grandes obras en América Latina vencieron el miedo para no sucumbir al terrorismo del complejo de inferioridad. Yo, inclusive, rompí este complejo con un grito.
No tengo miedo de crear, si tengo ingenio e arte voy para adelante. Es necesario no ser zonzo, pues la estupidez es el mayor enemigo del artista.
Arnaldo Carrilho me dijo una vez delante de las ruinas de Pompeya (era un domingo entre enero y marzo de 1965) que Simón Bolívar subió al Vesuvio y de allí meditó sobre América Latina: de allí partió para su acción política. Verdad o mentira quiero partir del volcán.

Es una película que el espectador deberá asistir como si estuviera en una cama, en una fiesta, en una huelga o en una revolución. Es un nuevo cine, anti-literario y meta-teatral, que será disfrutado, y no visto y oído como un cine que circula por ahí. Es una película que habla de las tentativas del Tercer Mundo... habla del mundo en que vivimos. No es para contarse, sólo para ser vista. De “Di Cavalcanti” para aquí rompí con el cine teatral y de ficción.
De IMDb:

"This film is a portrait of Brazil and of myself", stated director Glauber Rocha about his final film "A Idade da Terra", in an interview shortly before his sudden death in 1981, at 42, of pneumonia. "Idade..." is his grand epitaph: here you'll find the best and worst of Glauber's exuberant, allegoric, compulsive, revolutionary, verbose, ambitious and very individual style. There is no story-line: it's a collage of long scenes (mostly improvised) with the purpose of "reinventing Brazilian cinematic art, in the same way Villa-Lobos did with Brazilian music, Portinari and Di Cavalcanti did with Brazilian painting". Some have called it an "anti-symphony", where cinematic "noise" and "cacophony" would be part of a revolutionary artistic style. He was outraged by the fact that mainstream cinema still followed 19th-century literary paradigms (the predominance of dialog, narrative and plot over formal experiments) and wanted the movies to "finally enter the 20th century", to be as ground- breaking as the modernist painting movements. Glauber's original project for "Idade..." included having the 16 reels of the film being presented at random order, at the discretion of each projectionist in each movie session, never actually put into practice (the copy we see in VHS today is in the same order he screened at the Venice Film Festival).

"Idade..." had a long troubled genesis, as it began in 1978 and was only finalized two years later. Glauber was at the time a walking paradox: he was Brazil's most prestigious filmmaker on an international level, admired by Bertolucci, Godard and Buñuel; he had revolutionized Brazilian cinema at 24 y.old with his 2nd feature "Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol" (1964) becoming the leader of the Brazilian New Wave ("Cinema Novo"), creating a whole new aesthetics for third- world cinema, consolidated in his famous manifesto "Estética da Fome" (The Hunger Aesthetics). He had won two big prizes at Cannes (best director in 1969 for "Antonio das Mortes", and the Jury Prize for his 1977 iconoclast short "Di Cavalcanti"). And yet, by 1978 he was completely broke: he couldn't get financing, as his films were highly controversial and commercially unsuccessful. By then, he was in the habit of verbally attacking film critics and powerful media corporations, which didn't help matters. He was also living a private hell, as he -- a militant leftist -- was shunned by a league of important artists and intellectuals for expressing "sympathy" for the military regime in a 1975 controversial interview, as well as for hailing the new Pope (John Paul II), and was thought to be mentally disturbed. Still, he managed to raise enough money to buy a good amount of film stock and began shooting frantically with a shoe-string budget (he filmed a total of 36 hours, which he reluctantly reduced to the final version of 140 minutes).

Urgency is the key word here: it's as if he prophetically sensed this would be his last film. Glauber points his intellectual machine-gun at a multitude of themes: capitalism, militarism, imperialism, revolutionarism, Marxism, racism, sexism, religion and religious myths, pollution, the bourgeoisie, politicians, etc. Visually, the film has tints of cinéma-vérité (in the crowd scenes), expressionism (the 15-minute opening sequence representing the massacre of native indigenous peoples) and cubism (in some sequences, ALL the takes are included one after the other). Glauber's idea of acting was measured in decibels: not only the actors shout all the time, but he himself yells directions off-screen at the actors with his booming voice ("Fala mais alto, Danuza!!!").

"Idade…" is one of the last films to "believe" in avant-garde, experimental, uncompromising art films (as opposed to the omnipresent sense of commercialism we witness today, even from beginning filmmakers). It's from the days when films with political statements and philosophical discussions were welcome and relevant, when intellectual complexity was a plus and not "boring stuff". "Idade..." doesn't strive to be coherent, logical, accessible, entertaining: Glauber wants to provoke bewilderment and discomfort – and he certainly succeeds. It's a film of excesses: it's overlong, overly repetitive, overly digressive. It's a loud film from a loud man who didn't believe in subtlety. Glauber didn't even bother to write down his voice-over comments in "Idade...": he goes on and on ad libbing, thinking out loud in messianic speeches that are alternately lucid and maddeningly over the top. His famous inability to be succinct – both in films and real life – pays a price in his last film and it's no wonder that, by the end of the movie, we feel exhausted.

This is a film for audiences not afraid of experimentalism and controversy -- it's mandatory viewing for all interested in Glauber Rocha and as perhaps the last breath of Brazilian "Cinema Novo" movement. DO NOT watch this if you like conventional story-telling, clarity and subtlety. For the curious, open-minded, patient viewer, trust me: you've never seen a film quite like this.

El paréntesis quiere decir que parecen hechos por un brasileño. No me ocasionaron molestias, pero es curioso que a veces, viniendo de un DVD oficial, en lugar de usar artículos en castellano los pongan en portugués y cosas así. De cualquier manera, se entienden perfectamente.

Saludos.
