About Arnaldo Gabor

He was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1940. Arnaldo Gabor He became known as a director of major films such as All nudity will be punishedHe has also worked as a sound technician, theater critic, screenwriter, and newspaper and television columnist.

His first documentary film was an innovative documentary, general opinion (1967), in which he surveys the mentality of the Brazilian middle class. In the 1970s, with the tightening of political and social control promoted by the military regime, it took allegorical paths, as in pandorama (1970), who himself admitted his excess of the Baroque, years later.

In 1973 he directed one of his great films, All nudity will be punished, By Nelson RodriguezAnd sour criticism of the hypocrisy of bourgeois morals and habits. Two years later, he takes off wedding, also an adaptation of Nelson’s work, in which he flirts with the grotesque and the hysterical, without achieving mastery of the previous feature.

with All is well (1978), the so-called Apartment Trilogy, as it investigates once again the contradictions of Brazilian society, now begins with a powerful irony, especially families victims of the failed economic miracle. Already in 1980 was released I love you, A sexual and intimate analysis of a married couple, interpreted by Sonia Braga and Paulo Cesar Perrio. Finally, in I know I will love you (1986), somewhat repeats the psychological drama tone of the previous work, now with a younger couple, Fernanda Torres and Thales Pan Chacon.

In the early 1990s, as government funding for film productions sponsored by the Collor government ended, Gabr began a long period without filming, a moment in which he achieved huge popular success as a commentator for newspapers such as conditionand Folha and Globo, as well as ongoing appearances on TV Globo News. The sarcastic and libertarian style with which he commented on the news earned him admiration, but he also criticized him, especially in politics.

He resumed his career as a director in 2010 with supreme happiness, a movie with a memory tone, but not personal: a path he invented with what Gabor made an image of Rio de Janeiro since his childhood.
