Mooning over Marins, or, "Rock me, Joe!"

Neil Young 13 Jan 2009 Last updated on 08 Nov 2016

2009 has - as we know - only just started, but I for one will be pleasantly surprised if the year yields a more informative, entertaining, skilfully-written piece on cinema than Christoph Huber's interview/profile piece on Brazil's inimitable José Mojica Marins, for CinemaScope. Bravo! or rather, Parabéns!

Parabéns, indeed. Marins is a genius (Brazil’s only great living director, in my opinion, now that Glauber Rocha and Walter Hugo Khouri are gone), and it’s astonishing how far he goes in movie after movie.

A very good introduction to Mojica, indeed. Well, Fernando, Andrea Tonacci is still alive and well.

Well, Fernando and Felipe, Coutinho is still alive and well as well… ;-)

long life to tonacci!
