A espaldas de un gigante: Las traslaciones filmoliterarias brasileñas en el cine latinoamericano

The study presents a panoramic view of the film-literary translations of Brazilian cinema and describes trends in common with Latin American cinema. The audiovisual production of Brazil and the cultural distancing of the country with the rest of Latin America’s republics shows an indifference related to language comprehension. Brazilian cinema, in its detached position within the cultural periphery of the region, offers valuable lessons in Latin American cinema. Brazilian literature and its film adaptations make up a powerful industry that, more than detachments, confirms Aletria, Belo Horizonte, v. 30, n. 3, p. 63-84, 2020 64 ideological, thematic, aesthetic and cultural proximities, and offers some of the best examples of Latin American cinema ever.
