This Movie Degrades The Life of probably the greatest brazillian composer, 1 April 2002
1/10
Author: Rafa from Brasil

The Only Good Thing About this movie, really, is it's soundtrack. Oh, yes, and Jose Wilker's acting. The rest is amazingly bad. Bad directing, bad script, and, most of all, horrible acting. Marcos Palmeiras is specially bad at depicting such a great musician. It's very disappointing that the life of such a man fell in such incompetent hands to be depicted. Don't take this as an example of brazilian cinema.
