Resumo
This article is based on the concept of Transitional Justice, specifically its pillar Memory and Truth, in the context of democratic transition in Brazil, in order to highlight the relevance of national cinema to the problematization of memory about the past of civil-military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985). In particular, we analyze the film A Freira e a tortura by Ozualdo Candeias, released in 1983, which, set in the 1970s, shows the repression of women religious in the instances of the State of exception, where rights have been suspended and others violated. It is considered that this film, fiction, integrates the conflictive production of memories that takes place in the country, from the beginning of the political opening (1974), to face the past of dictatorship - marked by the violence perpetrated by the State. It is observed that, despite its ambiguities and contradictions, the cultural artifact establishes a less conciliatory vision about that process of dictatorship, revealing, rather, authoritarianism and political violence of the period, including gender violence.
