Abstract

For most of his history, European cinema´s defining aesthetic is realism, which is one of the means by it has traditionally sougth to differentiate itself from Hollywoodian dream machine. In Brazil, though cinema has always gone through periods of ups and downs, the same thing happened. Otherwise, realism is not always the favoured vehicle for the expression of national cultural identity and ideology. Many contemporary realistic productions are hybrid, and they use verisimilitude as artifice.
