简介：改编自巴西批判现实主义小说家拉莫斯的名著，由新浪潮导演LeonHirszman执导，是70年代巴西新电影运动中最激进的作品之一，但无疑也是一部难得的杰作。影片获柏林电影节新电影论坛国际奖及多项巴西国家电影奖。Hirszman拍完此片后被迫流亡智利。 ThemostprovocativeNovofilmofthe1970s,SãoBernardo(1972),directedbyLeonHirszman(whodiedofAIDSat49,in1987),isbasedonanovelbyGracilianoRamos,authorofBarrenLives,andwasreleasedatatimewhenBrazilianpornofilmswerebeginningtofloodthemarket.ShotwithaleanvisualstylethatrecallsBresson,SãoBernardoisanabsorbingmoralityplayaboutcutthroatcapitalismwhoseprotagonist,abrutalplantationowner,hadcometopowerthroughforceandmurder,likethemilitaryrulersofBrazil.Afteritsrelease,thedirectorlivedabroadforseveralyears.
