Lion Has Seven Heads, The -- Brazilian production about African neo-colonialism and revolution told not in narrative form but through a series of highly stylized scenes conveying various forms of social, economic and ideological exploitation. Directed by Glauber Rocha, one may object to some of the excesses in imagery, but there is no question it does contribute a sense of the revolutionary ferment in underdeveloped parts of the world. (A-IV) (nr) ( 1974 )
