Abstract

This essay examines the presence of filmmaker Glauber Rocha in Claro (1975), a film in which world politics are intertwined with the politics of filmmaking and the politics of sex. A mosaic of sketches, street performances and direct cinema set on the streets of Rome, this film is also the opportunity for the filmmaker to step into the scene and engage his own subjectivity in the narrative. I claim here that his presence, whenever evident in the film, sets the tone for possible readings of the scenes.
