MEMORIES OF PRISON
(MEMÓRIAS DO CÁRCERE)
Directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos
An acclaimed adaptation of the autobiographical novel by Graciliano Ramos, Memories of Prison uses its period setting (Brazil under the repressive Vargas regime of the 1930s) to comment on the travails of the current political era. As the director has noted, "The prison in my film is a metaphor of Brazilian society." 1984, Brazil, 178 minutes.
