Salles Gomes wrote an extensive number of articles and books
throughout his lifetime and his love of cinema influenced a
generation of leading film historians and critics in Brazil. This
anthology brings together for the first time in English a selection
of Gomes' most influential writings including texts on Hollywood,
European and Brazilian film, alongside topics such as art house
movies, commercial cinema, pornography and the vicissitudes of
developing a film culture faced with official government
resistance. By blending together ruminations on both global and
national cinema, avant-garde film and popular movies, Maite Conde
and Stephanie Dennison illustrate how this advocation of a national
cinema was forged in dialogue with international trends and
commercial influences. In doing so they introduce English-speaking
readers to the work of Brazil's foremost cinephile, placing
Brazilian film and film criticism within a global framework.
