Synopsis
An expressionist, at time semi-surrealist account of a Brazilian family over the last 40 years, in the historical impasse which the non-revolutionary classes could not overcome. A succession of political plots, melodramatic upheavals, and betrayals capture the violence, color, and atavistic strangeness of an opressed, stagnant civilization and its victims.

The post Carlos Diegues – Ganga Zumba (1963) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

70-year-old widower living in a poor Rio de Janeiro suburb falls in love again when he finds a woman of approximately the same age.

Quote:
“‘The life isn’t like the river that flows tirelessly nor like the sun that goes and comes back everyday. The life is like a summer shower, sudden and transient, that evaporates during the falling.’
When Isaura (Miriam Pires) reads this quote to Afonso (Jofre Soares), the viewer is already submerged in “Summer Showers” (1978), Carlos Diegues’ masterpiece. And I don’t use the word “masterpiece” mistakenly: the magistral ability in screenwriting, directing and cinematography, aside from the great interpretative effort, makes this film one of the best from Brazil.”
(Andrea Ormond)

After consulting a divination tray, she anoints Abiola the new leader and renames him Ganga Zumba and places him under the protection of Xango, who manifests himself though Ganga Zumba in trance. Ganga Zumba goes on to become a legendary king. Ganga Zumba and his people keep Palmares safe for years.

Just when her family starts believing that she is dead, and that they can expect a rich heritage, Tieta returns from São Paulo to her native village in Bahia, which she had been forced to leave long ago because of some involvement with a goat herd. Believed to be fabulously rich – and nobody knows how – she brings to the great disappointment of her family a young step-daughter and heir. With the arrival of Tieta turmoil enters into the life of her family and their fellow villagers.
