O Tempo e o Vento has been compared by film music critic Jon Broxton to James Horner’s Legends of the Fall. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a huge box office hit (about 711.000 tickets sold in the whole country, which is a very low number for a movie of that scale), but it was more successful when it was adapted into a 3-episode miniseries that played in January 2014 on Rede Globo, the biggest TV network in the country.įor the music, director Monjardim turned to composer Alexandre Guerra, making his live action feature film debut after a long string of shorts, TV and documentaries throughout the 2000s. In 2013, the books were adapted into an epic movie, directed by Jayme Monjardim (who had done other grandiose productions for television and cinema), and starring well known local actors. Written by Érico Veríssimo and published between 19, it’s the saga of two rival families, the Terra and the Cambará, and tells a part of Brazil’s history as seen from the southernmost state of the country, Rio Grande do Sul. O Tempo e o Vento, loosely translated as The Time and the Wind, is a classic work of Brazilian literature, a sprawling epic comprised of three books: O Continente (“The Continent”), O Retrato (“The Portrait”) and O Arquipélago (“The Archipelago”). Alexandre Guerra’s epic orchestral score for Jayme Monjardim’s lavish Brazilian film O Tempo e o Vento (2013) is a rarity these days.
