Abstract

Exu-Piá, coração de Macunaíma is a film adaptation of Mario de Andrade’s novel Macunaíma, o herói sem nenhum caráter. In this film, the director Paulo Veríssimo dialogues with two of the most important movements of Brazilian culture: Modernism and Tropicalism. In his reassessment, Veríssimo develops again the notion of Brazilian identity taken from the “anthropophagic” and Tropicalism movement, reinterpreting them in the 1980s context, an appropriate version to the new times.
