Fernando Cony Campos supported originality in artistic creation. He conceived it in terms of proposal, perspective, viewpoint, style, means and whatever could help form a distinctive vision. As personalities like Jean-Luc Godard or Glauber Rocha had emerged, it was up to the filmmaker to seek an alternate path to theirs, though he might fall short with the possible geniality of either.

This proposition alone would enable us to bring him closer to the experimental sensitivity which would eventually explode at the end of the 60s. The contact points, however, exceeded the merely shared principles. Although largely a result of a poor, long, full of setbacks production, “Voyage to the End of the World” already had in the midst of its original design elements which distinguish it as one of the immediate precursors of “Udigrúdi”. Particularly, the overlapping of various levels of enunciation and of various forms of contemporary language gradually destroys the idea of a narrative, even a sophisticated narrative as the one presented by the New Cinema directors.

Furthermore, if the ideological universe of the film still enables its inclusion in the group of the New Cinema, there’s a refusal to purely and simply condemn the means (or media), as they are away from mass culture. Counterculture may be alienated, but it is expressive in its constituents and particularly indicative of a state of things. Political disillusionment coexists with the chaos of the inevitable transformation. Not surprisingly does the work develop from the casual meeting of a pocket book of “Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas” at a newsstand and continues incorporating fascism, consumption, mysticism, poverty... and, in an innovative, emblematic way, ”Tropicalism” (the film is full of that movement classics "Joy, joy", "Soy loco for ti America" and "Tropicália".)

At some point, you hear a possible self-definition of the work: "The biggest error in this movie is you, you viewer. You’re in a hurry to grow old. And the film goes slowly. You love the direct, nourished narration. The regular, fluent style. And this film and my style are like cypresses which turn left and right, move and stop, mumble, bicker, laugh, threaten the sky, slip and fall. And they fall."
