Sexy Brazilian Movies: Here is the list!

It is not a easy job making a list of Brazilian Films. Firstly, the number of films available in The Auteurs is very poor. Secondly, many of these films aren’t available on DVD even in Brazil. You could find them on Internet, but probably you won’t find subtitles. So I am wandering if make sense pointing out films that you couldn’t see.

Brazilian filmakers were inspired by Italian Neo-Realism and the French New Wave, having the motto “Hands on a camera and an idea in the mind”. The low-budget films were themed about Brazilian reality (poverty, under-development, political issues, etc) which was a rare theme in Brazilian cinema until then.

The greatest directors were Nelson Pereira dos Santos (his masterpiece Vidas Secas aka Barren Lives is the cornestone of the movement), Glauber Rocha (who is the most proeminent of them), Ruy Guerra,Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Leon Hirszman, Maurice Capovilla, Paulo Cesar Saraceniand Carlos Diegues’s early films.
