The Age of the Earth
1980 · 2 hrs 32 mins
Drawing inspiration from a poem penned by Castro Alves, this film vividly captures the political, cultural, and intellectual climate of Brazil during the late 1970s. At its core, the story revolves around four distinctive embodiments of Christ's image: a black man, a soldier, an Indian, and a guerrilla fighter. These courageous individuals, hailed as the harbingers of doom in the tupiniquim lands, valiantly combat the insatiable avarice and oppressive "civilizing" brutality propagated by the formidable John Brahms—a foreign exploiter devoid of morals.
Director: Glauber Rocha
Cast: Maurício do Valle, Jece Valadão, Antônio Pitanga, Tarcísio Meira, Geraldo del Rey
