Moro No Brasil - The Sound of Brazil

In "Moro no Brasil“, the Finnish director, Mika Kaurismäki dives into the overflowing musical diversity of Brazil. Having got to know Brazil well during more than 12 years, Kaurismäki sets out on a 4000 km journey to discover local, popular culture, meeting musicians, singers, dancers with an amazing diversity of musical styles, far beyond Samba or Bossa Nova. In his first real documentary film which soon became a masterpiece, Kaurismäki shows the people as they are – gives them the opportunity to speak for themselves, via their amazing rhythms and especially via the lyrics of their songs, which are subtitled to enable the audience to get closer to them.
