Sumario:This essay proposes a comparative discussion of Italian and Brazilian cinemaduring the 1950s and 1960s with regard to their portrayal of the countryside.It demonstrates that this is a recurrent object of love and hate for both. Wesuggest as a preliminary hypothesis that the complexity of the treatmentgiven to rural society during these years - a period in which both countries aretrying to leave agriculture behind economically – is one of the consequences ofa factor that is common to the process of late capitalist development in bothcountries. That is the conflict between modernization and modernity and thecomplicated construction of national identities that flows from this conflict.
