Abstract

As in other cinemas around the world, Brazilian cinema came to modernity in the late 1950s, early 1960s, when Cinema Novo shook the traditional structures of production and aesthetics of film. New narrative structures and new aesthetic forms were tried by the filmmakers. The change also affected the way the actors bodies were filmed, to make them interact with each other and with the directors. New forms of acting appeared. The traditional theater centers of the country were not enough to give the film industry its interpreters. The persona of former players is recovered and restructures by new movies. Television influences films, and it’s influenced by them. New parameters for the star system are revealed.
