Tuned with national matters, it chose a criticai and controversial perspective, despised the melodrama and gave rise to creativity in a privatíon environment. The film "Central do Brasil" establishes a dialogue with Cinema Novo, revisits its motifs, and comes closer to melodrama. The result is the emergence of a new language and a new view for old themes.pt-BRCinema novoEstética da fomeCentral do BrasilFilmeArticle
