A constant fresh breeze with temperatures between 30' degrees and 32' degrees doesn’t make you feel the heat.
The Nouvelle Vague was a name used by french critic Francois Giroud in 1958 in the magazine ” l'Express”, as a reference to a group of new film makers, that started to make films that broke with the traditional narrative of the cinema, names like Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Jaques Rivette, Claude Chabral, Eric Rohmer and Agnes Varda were representatives of the movement.
In the 1960's they chose Canoa Quebrada to film "la Gabruges", a film that is still well known in Brazil as "operacao tumulta”. The story goes that one of the film crew was a moroccan muslim who asked “Ala” to forgive the never ending parties between the artists and the locals and for this he contracted a local artist to carve into the red sandstone cliffs a half moon and star , the symbol of his religion and this became the great symbol of Canoa Quebrada till this day.
