Stephanie Muir provides a consideration of the historical and industrial context of the film, a brief history of Latin American cinema, then a detailed account of filmmaking in Brazil. She looks at how the film uses the components of narrative to experiment with time while using traditional genre conventions. A detailed, illustrated analysis of the kinetic, scenesetting opening sequence is used to dissect the formal elements of the film. |
