Jorge Amado no Cinema was made for a television program dedicated to the writer Jorge Amado. In this documentary, Jorge Amado is filmed in his home, surrounded by his large family; in a bookstore, during an autograph session of one of his books, in a cinema in Salvador, at the avant-première of the film Tenda dos Milagres, by Nelson Pereira dos Santos, an adaptation of the book of the same name by Jorge Amado. Glauber films his friend with a lot of humor and affection. The camera evolves slowly, incessantly and quickly over the writer, his family members, actors and actresses from Nelson's film, in addition to passing through objects of candomblé rituals that make up Jorge Amado's museum.
Directed by Glauber Rocha
