Abstract

The article examines Hour of the Star (1985), directed by Suzana Amaral, an adaptation of Clarice Lispector's novel. Topics include the film's portrayal of the impoverished protagonist, Macabéa, and her passive existence in São Paulo; the film's contrast to the political cinema of Glauber Rocha, focusing more on personal despair than activism; and the minimalist filmmaking style, with Amaral emphasizing authenticity through simplicity and casting.
