Sinopse

Based on the romance written by Raduan Nassar about a Lebanese family living in Brazil’s inland, the movie is a backwards version of the parable of the prodigal son. André is an unattached son, who left family and home due to severe paternal laws and suffocating maternal affection and love. Pedro, his older brother, received from his mother the mission to bring André back home.

The appearance of the brother causes André to remember moments he lived with his family since childhood and the reasons that led him to leave home: rigid and repressive morals of the father and the relationship with an excessive tendering mother. Against his father’s sermons, André celebrates life, sex and freedom. There is also an even dire motive: the incestuous relationship between André and his sister Ana. André agrees to go back home with his brother, but such decision will shake the very foundations of the family.

Visão do diretor

By Luiz Fernando Carvalho - Jun 30, 2001

“The big landscapes have, all of them, a visionary character. The vision depicts the invisible becoming visible… the landscape is invisible because the more we conquer, the more we are lost in it” – (Paul Cézanne)

My motivation in filmmaking is the passage from one state to another. Every instant, preparing the spectator as a painter chooses and mixes its colors, or as a musician, or a shaman gathering its leaves to later extract a set of sensations. We can only move from one state to another if this set of sensations is reached. We only overcome the mere technical construction of a movie if we are capable of generating a dream, with such strength that contaminates the dark of the theater as a plague. It is thus necessary to create a state of violence, transformation, imagination.

But fabulation requires from us one action: to offer ourselves. To march with the courage of belonging to the unknown, to the screen still white. It is necessary to become, free life where it is imprisoned or, at least, embrace this uncertain combat in search of vision, retracing paths, entering our landscape and of others. The resulting fruit of all this need is language. In addition of founding the narrative, language is also the instrument that, with its rigor, disrupts another rigor, the one related to truths once considered irremovable. Language is the same thing as need.

Nowadays, imagination is sentenced to death on a daily basis, as if the exercise of imagining had the same meaning of imposing a way of expression to reality. Imagining causes fear, as it is an act of freedom, transgression, citizenship, in other words, a dangerous act.  Well, cinema, as any other creation, is incomplete, striving to become whole, in search of the perfect moment to place itself, face-to-face, imaginary of both creators and spectators. Thus, filming is imagining to the point of making changes without formulas, models, clichés – first and foremost! Imagining to the point of finding an image that is no longer possible to distinguish the creator from the creation, the actor from the character, the cinema from life itself.

Work with actors
I insisted in the work with land as I believe in imported corporal preparations that force actors to adopt positions without connection with due realities. I wanted a body preparation the Brazilian way. Then, our gestures were provided by rural workers, such as Bernadino and Bastuca, our masters in the field of milking, weeding and harvesting. We were happy.

Trilha Sonora

Composed during shootings by Marco Antônio Guimarães, the soundtrack of Lavoura Arcaica not only perfectly depicts the movie but is also a complete and independent work. The starting point was the Arabian music, recreated with Brazilian and universal elements, with the use of instruments such as cello, oboe and others created by the author of the track, which was released by the record company Trama.

Fortuna Crítica

3, ago — 2003

Les pieds dans la terre

“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.”

12, nov — 2001

New masterpiece of the national movie industry

“No minced words, it is never enough to say Lavoura Arcaica is a masterpiece”.

13, out — 2001

Word and poison

“The two majestic heroes of the movie are light and shadow, a perfect dialogue between bright and dark, paying tribute to a splendid Brazilian cinema and to a magnificent Brazilian Literature.”

9, nov — 2001

Luiz Fernando Carvalho forges a masterpiece

“Luiz Fernando Carvalho made a movie that mesmerizes the eyes and fights against conformism. He is a director with something to say and the courage to take risks. Lavoura Arcaica is a masterpiece.”

24, out — 2001

First epic after Embrafilme

“The first major epic in the retaking of the Brazilian cinema.”

7, mar — 2002

Big films

“Lavoura Arcaica is an extraordinary work. Much better than I expected, even considering I am already fan of Carvalho.”

8, nov — 2001

The oily salvia of this verb

“The deed of Luiz Fernando Carvalho is indeed remarkable. From a book made of pure fibrous language he managed to take from it a grammar of imagery and speech with an analogous aesthetic effect.”

25, nov — 2001

Convulsions

“This is what remains when it comes to a masterpiece.”

15, nov — 2001

Feature film is an exemplary exception in the Brazilian movie industry

“Luiz Fernando Carvalho spared no efforts. He shoots with all his soul.”

13, out — 2016

“The first masterpiece of the Brazilian movie industry in the 21st century.”

“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”.

A good transgenic

“Let no one wait three hours of entertainment. Whoever seeks a radical experience, however, already knows where to find it.”

1, dez — 2005

Edition 100 – Ranking the best of the culture in eight years

“It deals with cinematographic poetry that makes justice to the romance of Raduan Nassar, which was once considered unshootable.”

1, dez — 2001

From the herd of my father

“We must celebrate and rejoice, newspapers and our chats after leaving the screening room are all discussing aesthetic choices.”

23, out — 2001

Literary grandeur at the service of the good cinema

Lavoura Arcaica came with devotion to recover the transcendence in our big screens.”
