Abstract
Introduction: The article is an analysis of the film Once Were Warriors (1994), by director Lee Tamahori, which takes place in an Auckland neighborhood where body marking appears in different ways. Objective: To better understand the film’s approach to body marking in the complex contemporary New Zealand context, resulting from the cultural clash between the European culture and the Maori. Methods: It includes the analysis of shots and sequences and the convenient quotation of thinkers such as Néstor Canclini, Pierre Clastres, Peter Gow and Lars Krutak. Conclusions: The perspective adopted by the film does not go through the western moralizing question regarding body marking. It places the practice as a deep tradition of that society, in which the marks on the bodies and in the environment show the strengthening of a cultural identity that it was tried, in vain, to silence. It also leads to questioning the superficiality of the white man’s worldview, not only in relation to body marking.
