Resumo
O texto analisa o filme Santo Antonio e a vaca, realizado no ano de 1958, na cidade de Araraquara. Nesse filme pioneiro, procura-se criar um cinema com narrativa e estética caipiras, mas para subverter a moderna e tecnológica linguagem cinematográfica. Santo Antônio e a Vaca resgata um tema típico das comunidades rurais, a chamadan narrativa moral na forma do “causo”, e o apresenta com acanhadas tomadas de câmera, sem a exploração dos recursos especialmente cinematográficos. O tema e a forma do filme foram adotados por seu idealizador e diretor, Wallace Leal, como uma forma de reação à demolição do teatro da cidade para ceder lugar à construção que abrigaria a prefeitura de Araraquara. À época em que o teatro foi demolido, Wallace Leal dirigia uma trupe teatral, que apresentava com certo sucesso o espetáculo que inspiraria e daria nome à fita.
The article analyzes the movie Santo Antonio e a vaca, made in 1958 in the city of Araraquara, São Paulo. In this pioneer movie, a bumpkin narrative and aesthetic is created in order to subvert the technological and modern cinematographic language. Santo Antonio e a vaca rescues a typical theme of countryside communities, the so called moral narrative that appears in the form of “causo” (a short oral story), which is presented with shy movie camera takes, without exploring most of the exclusively cinematographic resources. The movies’ theme and form were adopted by its creator and director, Wallace Leal as a way of reacting against the demolition of the local theatre to give place for the construction of the city hall of Araraquara. About that time, when the theatre was demolished, Wallace Leal directed a theatrical group, which presented with certain success the spectacle that would inspire and give its name to the movie.
