Critical Reviews of the Film O Som ao Redor, its Aesthetic Proposals and Hermeneutic Deployment
Keywords:
Cinema, critical reception, hermeneutics (Source, Unesco Thesaurus).Abstract
The article undertakes a hermeneutical analysis of a series of critical reviews appearing in major newspapers, magazines and media sites on O Som ao Redor, by the filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho. Sixteen reviews were selected. They provide support for observing, among other elements, the recurrence of three aesthetic proposals: the sociological aspect, whereby it is possible to understand the film as a metaphor or a discourse on Brazil; the aesthetics of the mixture of genres, particularly the sound resources used in this feature film, and, lastly, its innovative nature or modern criterion that values the potential of novel content in a work of art.
