The Mandarin
1995, Portuguese. Directed by Júlio Bressane.
A great homage to Brazilian popular music and one of the prettiest films of the last years
The history of Brazilian popular music in the 20th Century, focusing specially on the life and works of intriguing singer Mário Reis, a loner who, with his special way of singing - whispering and softly saying the words - in a time when singers with potent voices ruled, was in a way a forerunner of Bossa Nova style.
