O som ao redor: sociedade em ausculta

Abstract

The degree of artistic elaboration inherent to the form of figuration of contemporary dramatic situations, together with the impulse of interpretation of recent historical experience constitute the pair of elements that makes Neighboring Sounds an original film. Here the interwoven action of ‘image’ and ‘sound’ inserts the ghost of the national slavery past into present times, haunting them. The pace of class struggle in the country is thus unveiled. And perhaps the film benefits from the radicalization of a critical process that was voraciously fed by the judicious effort for assimilating forms and motifs typical of the cinema produced by the preceding generations of Brazilian filmmakers
