Summary/Abstract: This article analyses some sequences of Sermões: A História de Antônio Vieira, film by Júlio Bressane released in 1989, discussing elements that repercute baroque’s vibration and vertigo, as well as opositions in film-making style such as the presence of: sound and silence; overflow and emptiness etc. Intending to debate the transcreation process (CAMPOS, 1992) which makes Bressane’s film pass through literature and paintings, with an emphasize on oral poetry. The voice of Vieira with his prophecies and speeches leads the filmmaker to images offering a cartography of Portuguese-Brazilian literature and culture.
