I found this film to be highly allegorical, Faith is used as political resistance, somewhat fantastical. I found that Corisco seemed to represent this sort of spiritual resistance. There has to be rebellion in order to provoke change. To be radical means to change everything. In order to stop the cycle, one must dismantle it form the root up. I think Rocha’s use of the folklore is so strong in instilling a feeling of resistance to oppression.
