Aimless Roam: The Worker as a Permanent Intruder in Brazilian Cinema
Autor: Suppia, Alfredo.
The aim of this brief overview is to investigate representations of the worker and the working class inBrazilian cinema. Three feature-length fiction films in particular will emerge as key texts in this analysis:Luís Sérgio Person’s São Paulo S.A. (1965), Leon Hirszman’s They Don’t Wear Black-Tie (Eles NãoUsam Black-Tie, 1981), and Beto Brant’s The Trespasser (O Invasor, 2001). These films provideuseful paradigms for our analysis of possible ruptures and continuities in terms of a film production with afocus on work. Contemporary cinema will also be examined in order to discuss the role of the worker as aconstant “intruder.” As a whole, this study seeks to demonstrate that the worker, the working class, and laborissues have emerged as recurring motifs that lurk beneath a number of film narratives, even though in anoblique or collateral way.
