Abstract

This paper proposes a comparison between the films O Saci (Rodolfo Nanni, 1953) and Procissão dos Mortos (Procession of the Dead, Luis Sérgio Person, 1968), examining the view of resistance to dictatorship and the construction of a mythical significance for young brazilians involved with the guerrillas in Procissão dos Mortos. The goal is to review films relatively forgotten by history and show that despite the current neglect, that works established an important dialogue between them, promoting a curious link between the São Paulo’s cinema of the 1950s and 1960s through an incipient work with the fantastic genre.
