Crítica de cinema no jornal Opinião e ditadura : dificuldades, conceitos e formatos

Abstract

This essay aimed to study and observe the cinematographic critical profession in the Rio de Janeiro weekly newspaper Opinião, by Fernando Gasparian, during the dictatorial period in Brazil, between 1973 and 1977. For observation, thirty-five reviews were used by various authors, including Jean-Claude Bernardet, Sérgio Augusto and Gustavo Dahl. For this, an observational method was used, with examples and comparisons of these criticisms with concepts presented by Pedro Lyra of critical concepts. In this way, by understanding what criticism is, it was possible to trace the elements that the works of these authors possess, such as their grammatical choices and subversion strategies based on political conjecture. Among the proven criticisms, in addition to the technical possibilities of criticism, the subjective elements that make up each of the authors were presented. The result went beyond technical qualities, but also towards writing alternatives in the face of censorship and persecution. The authors, therefore, form one of the front lines of free expression and the fight against dictatorship.
