Arnaldo Jabor Cause Of Death

Brazilian film director, producer, screenwriter, and journalist, Arnaldo Jabor, died in the early hours of Tuesday, February 15, 2022, at the age of 81, after suffering from a stroke.

Jabor had been hospitalized in São Paulo since mid-December, although a medical report at the end of the year indicated an improvement in his health.

The filmmaker’s family confirmed that he died due to complications from the stroke.

Since the 1990s, Jabor’s name has been closely associated with his controversial and provocative comments on TV Globo’s newscasts, but the beginning of his career was in the cinema.

First, as a critic in the newspaper of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ) and in the magazine Movimento. he started to act as a director from the 1960s onwards, releasing the short films Rio Capital Mundial do Cinema and O Circo and entering the Brazilian cultural scene in the second phase of Cinema Novo.

Throughout his career, his interest in investigating the contradictions of the middle class is remarkable.

This appears for the first time in A Opinião Pública, in 1967, his debut in the direction of a feature film, but also in O Casamento, in 1975 and in many of his chronicles.

But he also addressed love and existential crises in his works, such as the adaptation of the text by Nelson Rodrigues Toda Nudez Will Be Castigada, from 1973. The film won him a Silver Bear at the Berlin Festival, in addition to the first prize at the Gramado Festival.

His last film was A Suprema Felicidade, released in 2010, more than 20 years after the hiatus marked by the premiere of Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar.

However, Jabor leaves an unpublished film, based on the short story by Rubem Fonseca, The Book of Panegyrics and which features Michel Melamed, João Miguel, and Bella Piero in the cast. Titled My Last Wish, the ninth film of his career was scheduled for last year, but was postponed and still doesn’t have a release date.
