Monstro Caraíba is my view of Brazilian protohistory, a blanket of bits of legends of ancient America... the cinema that interests people is the cinema of discovery, of the retina's decentralization. The key to the film is the discovery of a new, original bone structure of America. The discovery I get my information from legends of a series of dinosaur bones which I encountered and then put together in the film. (J. Bressane).

Viola Chinesa (1977) - Short Film
An improvisation of poetic art featuring Bressane conversing with Grande Otelo, the star of Chanchada. It is also a total provocation against Brazilian cinema: "Art is conflict, abnormality, to me cinema is eminently erotic". "Viola Chinesa establishes the rhythm of Bressane's later filmed dialogs (ìwith all the eras in my brain"). (KG)

The invention of a landscape, the topology of a corner of Rio de Janeiro. The film consists of a series of photographs taken between 1909 and 1955 by, among others, Bressane's parents at and around the address. These are interlarded with scenes from his films made between 1957 and 2005, bringing the total fictional time the film covers to almost a century; in which the winding road featured in almost every shot structures the new landscape behind the Aperana, which means 'wrong road'.

"If you had to choose between me and your mother, who would it be?" Capitu asks provocatively of her problematic lover. Elsewhere, they dance to inaudible music, with their friends, each couple keeping to a rhythm of their own. At times, this depiction of the memories we see one Dom Casmurro commit to paper with a flamboyant pen seems to be an interplay of conflicting emotions - particularly when jealousy raises its head.
Your probable score

In this 7-hour-plus behemoth, Bressane re-edits his complete works, moving backwards and forwards between decades. The '60s, the '80s and the 2000s comment on each other in a way that sheds light on the director's themes and obsessions. (imdb)
