Abstract

The article consists of a comparative sociological analysis of the films Land in Anguish (Glauber Rocha, 1967) and Grey Morning (Olney São Paulo, 1969), according to the current Brazilian political context. The differences and similarities between the current context and the one in which the films were made are accounted, problematizing the views created today on these two works due to their historical importance and recognition gained by their directors. The analysis focuses on the filmic construction of the category “people” in these two works, identifying the “relational systems” (SORLIN, 1985), in which networks of relationships and hierarchies built among the characters operate as ideological expressions of a given context. Moreover, it is problematized which image of “people” those films contributed to build and crystallize.
