We analyzed the montage of Imagens do Estado Novo 1937-45, by Eduardo Escorel, with the aim of observing the actuality of the narrative, emphaticizing its political aspects. We examine how fragments of images used by the decoupage articulate the interaction between present time and images of Estado Novo. The subjectivity as a narrative trace shows the reflection that the film raises about itself through its narrator and the vestiges that reveal the process of montage of archives. The film elaborates a way of thinking the politic as a manifestation of history in the present time, by approaching facts that marked the first half of the twentieth century in Brazil.
