Glauber Rocha

Glauber Rocha was born in 1939 in Vitória da Conquista, in the interior of Bahia, and grew up in Salvador, where he began law studies without finishing them. A film critic in the Bahian press from the 1950s, he later contributed to the Jornal do Brasil. In 1965, in Genoa, he presented a manifesto on the aesthetics of hunger, which called for a break with industrial cinema. He left Brazil under the military dictatorship, lived in Chile and Portugal among other places, and died in Rio on 22 August 1981, shortly after his return from Lisbon.
