"Some
elements in this film are part of my concerns: the mythical fatalism, the politic
agitation and the relation between poetry and lyrism, a complex relation in a
barbarian world. A cinema essay, a beginner's experience."
REVIEW
 |
"(...) The story of Barravento
is about a group of poor fishermen in a region of Bahia. One of them, having
lived in the city, attempts to free them from their old beliefs and from their
slavery, using for that the most diabolic means. The presence of the sea, considered
a deity, the music, the dance, the ceremonies and the ritual sacrifices are
the essential elements of the narrative. (...)"
(Barravento, Jean de Baroncelli, Le Monde,
Paris, 27/04/70).
