Second viewing; first was on November 6, 1988.
English title: The Turning Wind
A poor fishing community is stirred up by the return of one of its denizens, who is now an independent worker and deplores the passivity of the fishermen in face of their exploited condition, for which he puts much of the blame on their mysticism.
The direction is sleazy and a bit primitive, but is not without talent for some beautiful compositions; the plot's analysis of opposing forces in a working class environment has some interesting insights, both political and poetical. The end result is also marred by the endless dwelling on uneventful sequences, mostly of music and dance.
