CALLUS OF MEMORY: flashback in Batismo de Sangue

Abstract

The article interprets the film Batismo de Sangue (2007), through the cinematic form of the flashback, around the torture and death of Frei Tito. Our hypotheses are: this film tries to deal with the legal amnesia imposed by the Amnesty Law of the crimes of the Brazilian Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985); since the testimonial ethic (Agamben and Gagnebin), we understand the film itself as a flashback, not of trauma, but of testemonie.

Testemonie; Dictatorship; Flashback
