A local guerilla fighter is tortured by a priest and his cronies who take sadistic pleasure in the torment of their victims. A blonde woman loyal to a shadowy operative is stripped naked, thrown in a cage and crucified by the sinful and sadistic spiritual scum.

The Lion Has Seven Heads
Di Cavalcanti
d. Glauber Rocha
c. Brazil
y. 1977
description:
"This is a very rare movie, but the story is very spread among brazilian cinema people. When brazilian art master Di Cavalcanti died, Glauber Rocha went to his funeral... with a camera. The short movie shows Cavalcanti`s corpse in the coffin, the funeral, and his family yelling at Rocha to get out of there with that camera, while in the background we hear Jorge Ben singing "Umbabarauma, homem gol", a famous samba-funk song about a famous brazilian soccer player. The guts make the myth." (IMDB Comment)

Cutting Heads
d. Glauber Rocha
c. Brazil
y. 1970
description:
"This uneven and hastily produced film suffers from many technical difficulties and is plagued by meaningless improvisation. Some attempt is made by the director to talk of some of the social problems in Brazil, but this entry qualifies as one itself. A narrator tells tales of the poverty stricken, and the filmmaker's many attempts at symbolism are confusing and pretentious." (AMG)

The Turning Wind
d. Glauber Rocha
c. Brazil
y. 1962
description:
"Brazilian director Glauber Rocha was only twenty years old when he made the interesting but uneven Barravento, his first film, and it already shows his interest in ritual and lower-class minorities. In this instance, the spotlight is on the lives of fishermen with more African than European blood in their veins -- and in their culture. Their overseers are the opposite, and thus arises the nearly universal problem of white exploitation of a black, minority cultural group. Aside from the political issues involved, there is a lot of colorful dancing -- a hallmark of Brazil -- and a glimpse at macumba rituals." (AMG)
