LOG LINE / português

GLAUBER, CLARO compõe o retrato do maior expoente do cinema brasileiro, Glauber Rocha, em sua experiência italiana e de seu penúltimo longa-metragem CLARO (1975). O documentário traz de volta o diretor e sua geração através de memórias de amigos, testemunho de colaboradores e de pessoas que o amaram, revelando fatos inéditos de seus anos de exílio até sua cólera contra o Festival de Veneza em 1980. Glauber, às vezes glorificado, outras odiado, mas quase sempre incompreendido deu uma contribuição essencial para o cinema mundial, fazendo-o avançar, porque só quem é tão ousado para acreditar que pode mudar o mundo, é que realmente consegue.

LOG LINE / italiano

GLAUBER, CLARO delinea un ritratto del più grande regista brasiliano, Glauber Rocha, durante l’esperienza italiana da esiliato. Girato nelle stesse location romane del suo film CLARO (1975), il documentario indaga l’esperienza di Rocha e di un’intera generazione, affrontando temi in più estratti che si sovrappongono: il backstage di Claro e la sua rilevanza storica, cinema underground, neorealismo, nuovo cinema, anni 70, militanza politica, utopia, post colonialismo, rivoluzione rivelando fatti inediti che culmina nella rabbiosa esplosione contro la Mostra di Venezia.

SINOPSIS

GLAUBER, CLARO is a creative documentary that composes a portrait of the greatest and most original exponent of Brazilian cinema of all times, Glauber Rocha, in his Italian experience. Glauber lived in Italy on several occasions, where having created and written several projects there. In 1975, in Rome, he shot one of his last feature films, CLARO (35mm, 110′, Italy) produced by Marco Tamburella. The director declares: “I want to see clear the contradictions of the mythological cradle of Western civilization. I want to make a Brazilian vision of Rome, or rather a testimony by the colonized on the land of colonization.”

40 years later, GLAUBER, CLARO chases Rocha’s experience in Italy through fragments of his Roman film CLARO, unpublished archival images and a collage of testimonies by those who have known him closely: fraternal friends, film critics, collaborators, and loved ones. Cinema, militancy, utopia, flow, movement, history, revolution turned into cinematographic art are the main topics we approach in this documentary. But State and censorship, media and culture, capitalism and humanism, post-colonialism and migration, are further issues addressed. A parallel between the socio-political context of 1975 with current reality is necessarily made, thus leading to a comparison between contemporary Italy and Brazil, the utopia of the 1970s and today’s dystopia.

Glauber Rocha supported an increasingly radical idea of cinema making while the world went in another direction. He, however, realized it too late. One year before his premature death at the age of 42, he had one of his deepest disappointments at the 1980 Venice Film Festival. Glauber leaves us a strong legacy, praised by international cinematography, despite being increasingly forgotten in the Brazilian panorama, where the lack of historical memory is a recurring practice. Dreamer, misfit, sweet, crazy, generous, rebellious, visionary and troublemaker – a man who had a different perspective of things, that saw beyond his present time and space, who did not bow to the rules and did not respect the status quo. Hated by some and glorified by others, considered either a madman or a genius, his essential contribution for the art of cinema worldwide cannot be ignored. His cinematography deserves to be remembered and unknown episodes should not be forgotten. Glauber Rocha, in an international scale, honoured Latin American filmmakers as few did. He helped cinema to go forward. Because only people who are passionate and crazy enough to believe that they can change the world, are the ones who can really do it.

ABOUT THE FILM CLARO

With Rome as its backdrop and Roman culture as its target, CLARO is a documentary-manifesto film or avant-garde cinematographic project that brings together several aspects of fiction. CLARO has neither narrative plot nor traditional structure as it mixes opera, documentary, improvisation, performance as well as various formats of personal intervention of the director in the film.Filmed in only two weeks in Rome with the Italian cult theatre director Carmelo Bene, the jazz clarinettist Tony Scott and the famous French nouvelle vague actress Juliet Berto, this irreverent and provocative film is one of the most authorial by Glauber.
