The text aims to offer reflections based Geraldo Motta Filho's filmic work “Lord of the Labyrinth” (2014) with the mythical allegory of the “labyrinth of Crete”. The film portrays the work and life of Arthur Bispo do Rosário, who was considered insane during his time a patient at the Colônia Juliano Moreira (RJ) mental institution. Using thread and wood, Bispo manages to create countless artifacts with his embroidery and knowledge of carpentry. Considering analogous to a labyrinth, the text provides an analysis of the film based on its poetics and aesthetics, and of the artist's relationship with the mental institution. It concludes that both in its poetics (construction and production aspects) and in its aesthetics (visual and sound representation), the film presents itself based on the labyrinthine premise, in that its path and editing are traced and traversed by detours and errors. Bispo’s work and life, portrayed in the film, is a celebration of madness as a poetics of life.
