ResumoA new generation of Brazilian film-makers is emerging and films like Suzana Amaral's A Hora da Estrela (Hour of the Star), Sergio Resende's O Homen da Capa Preta (Man in the Black Cape), and Chico Botelho's Cidade Oculta (Hidden City) are attracting large popular audiences. Brazilian films are again winning international prizes (Best Actress for Hour of the Star at Berlin and for Eu Sei que Vou te Amar [I Know I'm Going to Love You] at Cannes). A Brazil-based director, Hector Babenco, is directing Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep in a big-budget film in the United States. The Pompidou Center in Paris has mounted a major retrospective featuring more than two hundred films. Two major book-length studies have appeared-Randal Johnson's Cinema Novo x 5 and Paulo Paraguna's collection Le Cinema Bresilien. So it is perhaps an appropriate moment to review some of the major developments in Brazilian cinema over the last decade and a half.'
