Set against the turbulent atmosphere of the 1960s, Tropicália is a feature length documentary exploring the Brazilian artistic movement known as tropicália, and the struggle its artists endured to protect their right to freely express revolutionary thought against the traditional brazilian music of that time.
Affectionate, if somewhat genuflecting.
Director Marcelo Machado mimics the lively fingering in the edit suite, and the tempo can exhaust. But for beginners keen for a crash course, this hits every button with precision.
