Abstract

In this dissertation, the movie Palavra e Utopia (2000), a sort of Father Antonio Vieiras biography, will be the guideline of a study of the Manoel de Oliveiras cinematography based, mainly, on the nietzschean eternal return issue. Following this philosophical concept, we will manage to clarify the assumption (and persistence) of a handful of evident motives brought by the portuguese film-maker. Essencially, we will research Antonio Vieiras bibliography, managing to retain his mentioning texture (directly or undirectly) on this or others films of this same film-maker. By doing so, we expect to contribute in the research of Manoel de Oliveiras work, such as to expose his objective reading of the text to the context of the seventeenth-century author. The discussion will revolve around the construction of filmic character Antonio Vieira, through which you can access oliveiriana reading of some issues vieiristas. (AU)
