«To read On Cinema is to cling to an intellectual bucking bronco, to follow the coursing convolutions of a racing mind. You may emerge bruised from the experience but, if you manage to catch on to Rocha's crashing, juddering cadence, it's a hell of a ride.»

«To read On Cinema is to cling to an intellectual bucking bronco, to follow the coursing convolutions of a racing mind. You may emerge bruised from the experience but, if you manage to catch on to Rocha's crashing, juddering cadence, it's a hell of a ride.»
Sight & Sound
«This essential volume happily doubles as a delirious memoir of the golden era of arthouse film distribution (with Rocha simultaneously praising and disputing the work of his contemporaries), but it also bombards the reader with breathtaking manifestos from one page to the next.»
The Brooklyn Rail
«You might say that On Cinema, a compilation of the Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha’s writings, is cinema … Rocha reveals himself to be the ‘60s cineaste par excellence.»
Film Comment
«Invaluable ... A rich assembly of articles drawn from three separate collections of Rocha’s writing ... An essential guide.»
