Wandering Heart

2009 · 71 min

A gentle, reflective portrait that drifts between cities and conversations, inviting you to sit with an artist's quiet unease.

Directed by
Fernando Grostein Andrade
Genres
Documentary, Music
Starring
Caetano Veloso, Pedro Almodóvar, David Byrne
Tagline
An enjoyable journey in search of answers to a series of questions that reveal Caetano in unprecedented intimacy.
Overview
Wandering Heart intimately follows Caetano from São Paulo to New York and Japan, during the release of his first album recorded solely in English. It takes considerably more than a week-long series of shows at Carnegie Hall, accolades in the New York Times, or the admiration of friends like Pedro Almodóvar, David Byrne and Michelangelo Antonioni to make Caetano feel comfortable outside of Brazil.
