Rio, Zona Norte is a musical drama that explores samba in a very interesting way. We follow a great unknown artist and when he has a huge opportunity, things don't happen as they should. A man invisible to the eyes of society and who would never be recognized because of his conditions. It's an exciting and realistic experience. An experience that reveals to us that the world of music is not as beautiful as we imagine. The protagonist is charismatic, his story is emotional and Nelson Pereira dos Santos manages to create more closed shots that put us directly in front of these emotions. Right from the beginning of the film, it makes you curious about what is going to happen. The ending is not satisfactory, it is sad, it is raw. A Brazilian film, certainly one of the best in history.
