The pedagogical relevance of cinema has interested researchers from different fields of the Human Sciences, which is reflected in research that focuses on the relationship between cinema and education, language teaching and learning and teacher education. In this sense, with the purpose of contributing to the existing works, this article discusses the critical-reflective practice in language teacher education and takes the film as a potential discursive genre. Based on postulates of sociodiscursive dialogism and the theory of discourse genres, we investigate how the film can be applied to the language teacher education, raising critical reflections on the practice of these professionals. For that, the didactic sequences model was relevant, so we elaborated a proposal with the film Detachment (2011) and applied it in a thematic course guided by the Action-Research methodology, in which we carried out activities such as film viewing, thematic discussions dialogued with theoretical texts and a focused interview. The discussion of the data indicated that the didactic sequences are productive for working with films as a pedagogical resource, since they enabled the effective engagement of the participants in the reflections.
