The restoration of motion picture films in Brazil became an increasing activity in the 90’s with the introduction of digital tools. At the same time that brought an almost unlimited ability to intervene in the movies, the digital tools have also introduced a debate about the ethical nature involving the restoration of films. In this context, we highlight the restoration projects dedicated to the films of Cinema Novo. This work aims to verify to what extent the digital restoration has to affect the language elements of Glauber Rocha’s Terra em Transe, a film marked by great formal inventiveness. The analysis of the restoration of the film was marked by some of the concepts of Cesare Brandi, an author who sought to work with the issue of ethics in the fine arts field. Some issues related to ethics and to the concept of restoration as well as the historical trajectory of film restoration in Brazil are also discussed in the text.
