A film about the modernist poet Oswald de Andrade.
Sinekatalog’s take
Joaquim Pedro de Andrade's film honours modernist poet Oswald de Andrade, in an irreverent, playful, collage-like biography. Colourful and witty, it is a quirky tribute to a key voice of Brazilian modernism.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
