‘It is a film against the dictatorships, it is the funeral of the dictatorships,’ Glauber Rocha explained. ‘I deal with a character who might be the apocalyptic encounter of Perón and Franco in the ruins of the Latin-American civilisation. I filmed it at the rocks of Cadaqués, where Buñuel filmed L'Age d'or…The future of the cinema will be sound, light, delirium, that line interrupted since L'Age d'or.’ Rocha's film is an allegorical depiction of a despotic ruler’s downfall and his attempt to address Brazil’s social problems.
