RESUMO

Cinema and city share the same origin: both come from the project of modernity. The world contemporary attended the gigantic growth of the cities around the globe, placing it as the main form of social space organization. The cinema was alert to this process, as the most characteristic cultural form of nowadays. In this way, the analysis of films is an important path to understand the urban question that is in the center of attention of diverse interdisciplinal studies on the society contemporary. The present work is worried in observing some contributions that the Brazilian cinema offered to the study of the urban life. The films utilized as objects of this analysis had been chosen among of the contemporary production, are they: Central do Brasil (Central Station), by Walter Salles; Cidade de Deus (City of God), by Fernando Meirelles; O invasor (The Trespasser)Â by Beto Brant. Each one of these films presents a particular form to put the view toward the city, by dislocating outside its limits, or by confining in an internal and local vision, and even by transiting inside. To proceed to the analysis and comment from the corpus was applied, primordially, the Urban Cultural Studies, in dialogue with the Film Studies and Theory of Cinema
