Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
For all its heroic energy, hortatory anger, and impulsive youth, it's very much a philosophical work of its time, a majestic fantasy of no way out.
– Richard Brody,

fresh:
Simple, black-and-white, more arresting as a shocking polemic than as memorable drama.
– A.H. Weiler,

Strongly recommended.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
The fusion of European and Afro-Brazilian elements -- dialogue, exquisite black-and-white images, and music by Villa-Lobos -- is startlingly original and poetical in conveying the hope and despair of the oppressed.

fresh:
Rocha's project is fundamentally political, and completely unambiguous: he faces up to the contradictions of his country in an effort to understand, to crush mystiques, and to improve.
