Summary

One of the key films of Brazil's Cinema Novo movement, Glauber Rocha's masterpiece TERRA EM TRANSE aka ENTRANCED EARTH (1967) envisions a fictional Latin American country where the left- and right-wing parties both feed from the same trough, and asks what role art can play in revolution, if any. Friend-of-the- show Violet Lucca returns to place the film within the context of Brazil after the 1964 coup that led to decades of military dictatorship. "Revolutionary Lessons" by Robert Stamm - https://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/onlinessays/JC10-11folder/TerraTranseStam.html Check out Violet on The Harper's Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-harpers-podcast/id1405872370

0:00.0	I'm just going to forget to our love, I'm just try to forget we're on Mike, you know,
0:23.5	which is incredibly awkward when you start with like a stilted intro that's like,
0:28.8	welcome to Michael and us. I'm Will Sloan. And let's make that the intro. Why don't we?
0:35.8	Listeners may have already figured out that there's something unusual about this episode.
0:40.6	My beloved co-host, Luke, he is either on a spiritual quest, or he is working on finishing
0:46.9	the project that he's been alluding to a lot on recent episodes.
0:51.6	So one of those two things.
0:53.2	So for a couple episodes, we're going to have
0:55.3	some guest hosts in the house, just like when Roger Ebert brought in Harry Knowles.
1:03.2	I saw Harry Knowles in person one time. It was terrifying. Oh, my goodness. Did you emerge unscathed?
1:12.2	Yes, thank God. I was in a crowd. It was in a crowd in theater. Thank God.
1:16.7	Our first guest host up is a longtime friend of the podcast, host of the Harper's podcast,
1:24.1	longtime friend of mine, Violet Luca. Nice to be here, Will.
1:27.4	Violet has brought a great movie to talk about, a movie that's outside our usual
1:31.6	wheelhouse of Alexandra Pelosi documentaries and conservative kitsch.
1:37.9	So I'm very excited to be getting into that soon.
1:40.9	Before we talk about that, though, something that we haven't talked about on the podcast
1:44.4	yet, but which I know is consuming a lot of my attention as well as yours, is the new Nathan
1:49.7	Fielder TV show, The Rehearsal, which I think has been widely appreciated. It has a couple of
1:56.5	very vocal detractors as well. It's a show that...
2:00.4	Fucking nerds. Yeah, yeah, one in particular,
2:03.3	but we don't, we don't need to name him. A show that, you know, is ready made for discourse.
