This paper considers the relation between cinema, history, and memory. Cinema is included here to support history in its ability to reflect the attitudes and orientations of a particular society—here, the Brazilian one—as a valuable means of identification, acting, and thinking. Using different theoretical approaches, from Kracauer and Sorlin to Bergson and Ricoeur, the discussion follows history as an object of the film and also its capacity to reconstruct memory.
