Our case II: the promised land
Director Regina Guimarães / Saguenail
Countries Portugal
Duration 45 min
Synopsis
After what we identified as the cinema of the Father and of the Landscape, a cinema of Poetry, conqueror of realms (António Reis / Margarida Cordeiro), we sought out the two other points of the triangle, studying the metaphorical treatment of natural sets (Paulo Rocha) and the inclusion of the character in the set built d'après nature (Pedro Costa). We found a cinema of the Inner Land and the Inner Self - as opposed to the official seafaring and conquering history - and we noticed the recurrent image of the river (river of blood, of gold, or natural line of frontier), in an approach to reality that tends to transform the vastness of the horizon into enclosed space.
