Abstract
Este estudo pretende refletir sobre alguns aspectos da estética cinematográfica de Glauber Rocha, olhando especificamente para as confluências que se estabelecem com a estética do cinema documentário. A intenção é problematizar como Glauber Rocha se apropria da linguagem documental para compor sua estética do real e materializar seu projeto poético e político em um tempo histórico e cultural que ficou conhecido pela efervescência da produção de uma arte de viés e tom extremamente político que buscava desvelar a realidade do povo brasileiro e sua identidade frente ao colonialismo cultural norte-americano. O pensamento do intelectual e cineasta baiano está impregnado justamente do espírito dessa época em que a produção da arte contemporânea passa por uma profunda mudança tanto no Brasil como na Europa, onde os artistas redefiniram suas estéticas entrelaçando-as com causas políticas e por sua vez empenhados em colocar a arte a serviço da mudança social. A estética do real que ‘soprava ventos’ nas vanguardas europeias reverberava no Brasil nos anos de 1960, sendo remodulada pela ótica glauberiana, introduzindo o povo brasileiro e suas realidades no novo cinema brasileiro. A estreita relação, e porque não dizer uma relação visceral, entre Cinema Novo e a busca por uma estética do real nos leva a refletir de que modo a diluição das fronteiras entre o cinema ficcional e o documentário reverberou e influenciou a composição da linguagem do Cinema Novo no Brasil. Para as reflexões tomamos como referência Nicholls (2005), Penafria (1999), Xavier (2001) e Simonard (2003).
This study intends to reflect on some aspects of Glauber Rocha's cinematographic aesthetics, looking specifically at the confluences established with the aesthetics of documentary cinema. The intention is to discuss how Glauber Rocha appropriates the documentary language to compose his aesthetics of the real and materialize his poetic and political project in a historical and cultural time that became known for the effervescence of the production of an art with an extremely political bias and tone that sought to unveil the reality of the Brazilian people and their identity in the face of North American cultural colonialism. The thinking of the Bahian intellectual and filmmaker is impregnated precisely with the spirit of that time when the production of contemporary art is undergoing a profound change both in Brazil and in Europe, where artists redefined their aesthetics, intertwining them with political causes and, in turn, committed in putting art at the service of social change. The aesthetics of the real that 'blew winds' in the European avant-gardes reverberated in Brazil in the 1960s, being reshaped by the Glauberian perspective, introducing the Brazilian people and their realities into the new Brazilian cinema. The close relationship, and why not say a visceral relationship, between Cinema Novo and the search for an aesthetic of the real leads us to reflect on how the blurring of boundaries between fictional cinema and documentary has reverberated and influenced the composition of the language of Cinema New in Brazil. For the reflections we take as reference Nicholls (2005), Penafria (1999), Xavier (2001) and Simonard (2003).
