Tropicália

Tropicalism and Brazilian Culture

In this colorful documentary, director Marcelo Machado takes the audience on a sensory tour into the history of one of Brazil's most iconic cultural movements, Tropicalism. In an affectionate panorama, built up from a miscellany of references, interviews, material dug from archives, images and, of course, music, the viewer travels through the fertile, controversial and violent years of the late 60's that created a movement and musical style that would remain beloved for years to come.
