![]() ![]() ![]() With a cast that included Mauro’s wife billed as Lola Lys in her only screen appearance, Thesouro Perdido revealed the remarkable cinematic skills of the self-taught filmmaker. Inspired by American productions, the film is a melodramatic adventure story involving bandits in search of a treasure map. The scenes in which they kidnap the heroine and are confronted by the hero in a struggle to the death in a burning cabin as the hero’s brother and friend ride to the rescue on horseback demonstrate Mauro’s successful assimilation of his American contemporaries’ technique in creating heart-pounding excitement. The film, however, lacks the erotic lyricism that would become a marked feature of Mauro’s vision. At the same time, Mauro’s flair for staging dramatic scenes against a natural background foreshadows his subsequent films. | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() "Braza Dormida" ["Smouldering Embers"] is arguably Humberto Mauro's most famous work aside from "Ganga Bruta". In 1928, after the publical and critical acclaim of his last movie, "Thesouro Perdido", Humberto Mauro was already considered the best brazilian director in activity. This success allowed him to invest in his production company, Phebo, and reach out for a new level of filmmaking. "Braza Dormida" was very expensive for its time and place, and it shows in the movie: Mauro finally masters the cinematic language here, he uses interesting metaphors (like in the biblical/fallic scene of the snake) and is able to mix romance, adventure and even a little eroticism to portray his pessimist/bucolical point of view with perfection. | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() In Sangue Mineiro (Blood from Minas), Mauro once again explores the tension between traditional countryside values and modernization, this time clearly stated in the choice between the Acaba Mundo farm and the city of Belo Horizonte. BTW, one of the cool things to see in this movie is the city where i live in when it was still a young town... and portrayed with wonderful skill by Mauro, the first shot, with the camera panning over the mountains until it finds BH encrusted on the valley is one of the greatest openning scenes of brazilian cinema. This movie is a typical 1920s melodrama, with suicide attempts, a vamp-like leading lady (the portuguese/brazilian star Carmen Santos, local sex-symbol of her time) and a lot of over-the-edge facial expressions. | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() A late but important addition to this little retrospective, Ganga Bruta is without a doubt Humberto Mauro's masterpiece, and many people (like Glauber Rocha and Georges Sadoul) have said this is the best brazilian movie ever made. Actually it is very likely that it was Rocha's love for this movie that turned Mauro in the legendary figure that he is, that gave him this status as a founding father of brazilian cinema. But i belive Rocha was not overrating: seeing Ganga Bruta today, more than 70 years after its release, we can still be in awe by the originality and beauty of Humberto Mauro's directing. Of course the plot is really naive by today's standarts, but the fact that this film is still very captivating - maybe even fascinating - even with a somewhat lame story just makes it more impressing. A must see. | |||

![]() ![]() O Canto da Saudade, or "The Song of Yearning", Humberto Mauro's last feature-lenght film, is said to be a return to the director's 1920's work, meaning it is a bucolical, countryside oriented, lyrical picture. In this sense, we can say it is a properly-titled film, because it is a return not only to his cinematic roots, but also to his home town of Volta Grande, where the movie was made. On the other hand, this feature reveals the inffluence of Mauro's documentary work at INCE, right from the start, when he claims to feel the need to register Minas' countryside lifestyle in a picture. Also, lots of music, specially traditional music, something we can relate directly to his Brasilianas series. | |||
