Tropicália
Documentary87 min
Against the upheaval of 1960s Brazil, this documentary traces the Tropicália movement as musicians, artists, and filmmakers pushed for a new kind of cultural freedom. Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil are among the key voices, alongside archival material tied to painter Hélio Oiticica and other figures who challenged the conventions of Brazilian popular music. The film follows how Tropicália fused experimentation with political defiance, and how its artists fought to keep revolutionary ideas and unconventional sounds in public view.
