Biography
Glauber de Andrade Rocha (Vitória da Conquista, March 14, 1939 — Rio de Janeiro, August 22, 1981) was a Brazilian filmmaker, considered by critics, specialized journalists and the public as one of the biggest names in the history of Brazilian cinema. Revered as a revolutionary genius, he was one of the founders of the avant-garde Cinema Novo movement, and many of his works, such as Deus e o Diabo Na Terra do Sol, Terra em Transe and O Dragão da Maldade Contra o Santo Guerreiro, are often listed as some of the best Brazilian films of all time.
