25 Essential Films for an Introduction to New Brazilian Cinema

"In 1995, Carlota Joaquina – Princess of Brazil's release meant the rebirth of Brazilian cinema: it was the Retomada (Resumption) which inaugurated the New Brazilian Cinema. This new Brazilian cinema continues with several traditional themes: the sertão (the hinterland), poverty; on the other hand, new subjects emerge: the analysis of the traumas of Military Dictatorship (1964-1985), urban chaos, human sexuality.
Currently there is a tension in film production: films produced by Rede Globo (Brazil's largest media conglomerate) with ample resources, famous actors and immense propaganda, are blockbusters but are generally considered low artistic quality; on the other hand, alternative filmmakers who produce small films are in need of distribution and visibility. The following list shows some of the most representative motion pictures of this period".
