The Age of the Earth

Directed by an unknown filmmaker, The Age of the Earth presents a compelling story inspired by a poem from Castro Alves. It delves into the Brazilian socio-political landscape of the late 1970s through the lens of four distinct representations of Christ: a black man, a soldier, an Indian, and a guerrilla fighter.

These characters confront the moral vacuity and exploitative nature of a foreign oppressor named John Brahms. The film engages with topics such as mythology, third-world issues, and allegories related to Christianity, making it an intriguing piece for collectors interested in avant-garde cinema and Brazilian history.

For those focused on physical media, this film stands out not only for its artistic approach but also for its rich thematic content that resonates with the political climate of its time.
