Cinema e resistência: a ditadura militar brasileira em Zuzu Angel, de Sergio Rezende

Abstract

From 1964 to 1985, Brazil experienced the Military Dictatorship, to which images of extreme violence are linked. The artistic production of that moment came to represent such a historical situation, seeking to produce works that were against the ideology of the authoritarian power. Aside from literary works and musical expressions, many films were made to “speak” about that period. The purpose of this article is to deal with the concepts of resistance and cinema in order to verify how these words help in an analysis of Sergio Rezende’s Zuzu Angel (2006). Walter Benjamin, Alfredo Bosi, and Márcio Seligmann-Silva are the main authors who underscore the present approach.
