This collection explores the emergence of new spatialities and subjectivities in Brazilian
films produced from the 1990s onwards a period that became known as the retomada but
especially in the cinema of the new millennium. The chapters take spatiality as a powerful tool
that can reveal aesthetic political social and historical meanings of the cinematographic
image instead of considering space as just a formal element of a film. From the rich
cross-fertilization of different theories and disciplines this edited collection engages with
the connection between space and subjectivity in Brazilian cinema while raising new questions
concerning spatiality and subjectivity in cinema and providing new models and tools for film
analysis.
