Не многие народы могут похвастаться тем, что из них вышли художники, перевернувшие все представления современников о том, какой должна быть живопись. Казимир Малевич в России… Сальвадор Дали в Испании… А в Америке? В Америке был Джексон Поллок (1912-1956). Человек трагической судьбы, этот необузданный гений за несколько лет совершил революцию в абстракционизме. Его талант открыла в 1941 году художница Ли Краснер, впоследствии ставшая его подругой жизни. Увы, их счастье было недолгим: внутренние демоны, терзавшие душу Поллока, толкали его на путь саморазрушения. В итоге, он прожил потрясающе яркую, но короткую жизнь. Жизнь, которой и посвящен этот фильм.
Quilombo dos Palmares was a real-life democratic society, created in Brazil in the 17th century. This incredibly elaborate (and surprisingly little-known) film traces the origins of Quilombo, which began as a community of freed slaves. The colony becomes a safe harbor for other outcasts of the world, including Indians and Jews. Ganga Zumba (Toni Tornado) becomes president of Quilombo, the first freely elected leader in the Western Hemisphere. Naturally, the ruling Portuguese want to subjugate Zumba and his followers, but the Quilombians are ready for their would-be oppressors. The end of this Brave New World is not pleasant, but the followers of Zumba and his ideals take to the hills, where they honor his memory to this day. Writer/director Carlos Diegues takes every available opportunity to compare the rise and fall of Quilombo with the state of affairs in modern-day Brazil.
Post-modernity spaces brings out more violence from wars and love relationships. A young couple and the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of the Cold War.
