Infinita Tropicália

1986 · 36 min

A short, affectionate look back at a radical cultural moment, carried by music and reminiscence rather than drama.

Overview
Tropicália was a Brazilian cultural movement that occurred between 1967 and 1968, inspired by Oswald de Andrade's anthropophagic ideals, pop art and the concretism. Twenty years later, this film revisits the movement and shows that Tropicalismo will never die.
