Featured review
The date is incorrect. The film is from 1972. Despite the script and dialogues bordering on nonsense, the interest remains due to the beautiful songs and the performance of Nara Leão, Maria Bethânia and Chico Buarque, singers rarely seen as actors.
An artist manager (Hugo Carvana, almost a Dennis Hopper's double in "Easy Rider") tries to honor the contract for a great show, but faces problems with his artists, who fall in love and lose interest in the tour. The organized crime boss, who hired the show, threatens the group by sending a henchman.
The title song alludes to the dictatorship that existed in Brazil at that time, lasting until 1986. For obvious reasons, such connections are almost nonexistent in the plot, which shows the artists in a relaxed and indifferent attitude to political issues.
Much of the track is by Chico Buarque, but there are also older songs by other composers, such as Assis Valente, Herivelto Martins, João de Barro, Tom Jobim, Vinícius de Morais, and Lamartine Babo. The album deserves a careful listening, it is very good! The film, not so much, may be of more interest to the singer's fans.
The ambience has elements of a mambembe caravan, with hippie touches, which do not always fit with the soundtrack.
Highlight for the performance of Antônio Pitanga ("Cuíca"), despite his stereotyped character and for the clips dedicated to the main songs.
