Description:
This vibrant film blends themes of exile with the story of the poet Rimbaud and the feminist movement. The filmmaker describes it as "super-intellectual: a fable-musical-philosophical-chanchada." He emphasizes the film's exploration of longing for Brazil and the desire of those in exile to return home. The concept originated from discussions between the musician and his father, who frequently spoke about pre-Socratic philosophy. Glauber Rocha considers "The Demiurge" to be the finest film examining exile, both as a subject and a state of being.
