Les pieds dans la terre
- Cahiers du Cinéma
“Il y a la promesse fondatrice d’un renouveau, d’une palpitation inédite dans le cinéma brésilien depuis Glauber Rocha. (…) Sur le coup ne restent que des bribes arrachées à un magma visuel et quelques éclats tranchants. Mais bientôt le chaos s’organise, la matière prend forme et le film se donne dans toute sa longueur et sa richesse comme un poème barbare au bard de l’hallucination, d’une puissance inouïe. (…) Jamais pourtant ce retour aux mythes fondateurs ne recouvre ni ne prend de vitesse la primauté des sensations. Si le film possède une telle force incantatoire, c’est que Carvalho sait que tout commence là, dans cette manière première de naître au monde, de se laisser ravir par lui, d’en goûter chaque repli.”

“The first masterpiece of the Brazilian movie industry in the 21st century.”
- O Estado de S.Paulo
“The harmony between interpretations, photography and music – broken only, as I see it, in the hyperbolic scene of the chapel and, in a lesser degree, in the parable of the hungry – carves the name of Luiz Fernando Carvalho among the greatest creators of the contemporary audiovisual segment. No minced words, it is never enough to say Lavoura Arcaica is a masterpiece”.
