Summary:

Directed by Glauber Rocha. Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni claimed of The Age of Earth that 'each scene is a lesson in how modern cinema should be made.' After stints in Cuba, the United States and Europe, in 1980 Rocha returned to Brazil to make the film, which was his last. This monumental culmination of his career is an urgent 'anti-symphony' intended to reinvent Brazilian cinema. Originally, the 16 reels of the film were to be presented in a random order. The frenzied feast of allegories and symbols defied rational reality and sought to 'resist the classification of colonial anthropology'. Country of production: Brazil. (With English subtitles.) Also released as A Idade da Terra. <br /><br />Some World Cinema titles may contain mature themes or content. Viewer discretion is advised.
