palavras-chave
This study is focused on analyzing the dystopias in Brazilian science fiction cinema. There has been a bigger production of Brazilian genre films, especially in the last decade. In Science fiction, most of the films are dystopias. This fact reflects the social and political crisis that Brazil is going through. Dystopias in Brazilian science fiction
cinema are extremely political and critical and can help us understand our reality. Science fiction is a genre associated with the fantastic, but distinguishes itself from other genres (such as fantasy and horror), because of its closeness to reality (CORNEA, 2007). Therefore, our research problem is: how the Brazilian science fiction cinema has chosen dystopias to represent the political and social problems of the country? The films chosen for the analysis were Bacurau (2019) directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles and Divino Amor (2019) directed by Gabriel Mascaro.
