Episode 478: The Lion Has Seven Heads (1970)

We conclude Cinema Novo month with a look at Glauber Rocha’s The Lion has Seven Heads, though, this movie seems to be post-Cinema Novo and wasn’t even made in Brazil. Instead, this film was made after Rocha was exiled from Brazil and shot in Brazzaville in the Democratic Republic of Congo along with help from French and Italian producers.

Chris Stachiw and Heather Drain join Mike to discuss this dense political treatise about colonialism.
