O Cinema Falado

"The experimental merges with the documentary."

Dec 11 1986 N/A 1h 52m
Biography, Music

A fragmented style, patchwork of interviews with Caetano Veloso's friends, mixed with conversations, thoughts, scenes of dance and literature excerpts.

Plot

Brazil's leading composer and singer ventures into film making, revealing himself with family and friends, in thirty segments arranged in three chapters - literature, music, and pictorial art. From the cacophony of a large party, dialogs start forming and will encompass in a variety of settings, themes that go from German philosophy to avant garde theatre, classic poetry and current politics, family love and homosexuality. Music is present everywhere, in theatre and dance, from Brazilean tunes to British rock. The film is a personal essay, explicitly referencing works by Godard and Fellini.
