Three music-related films yesterday, all on amazon Prime, and all worhtwhile in their own way.
I don't know a lot about Elis Regina's life, but from what I do know, this film does a lot of the "bio-pic" things and is in some form or fashion "based on a true story" rather than actually being one. BUT - the actin and directing is really good,and the music is GLORIOUS. So, check it out and maybe find more about the real person.
I knew the gist of the this and the music (kinda), but this doc fleshes it out and is a delight to watch. Now I see that I really need to get the first Os Mutantes records (and some others as well).
And following Brazilian late-60s youthful cultural revolution, it was on to this:
This purportedly is a true story, and I don't have any difficulty almost believing that almost all of it it is. Boomers who still believe in magic should be enthralled by this, the rest of us...simply entertained by how it capture that brief moment where it really DID seem that things were going to get better and change and all we had to do was know that THIS was right and everything else wasn't.
All of the above are highly recommended to anybody who thinks "that looks interesting...", and all of them are free with Amazon Prime.
