Rogério Duarte, o Tropikaoslista

Rogério Duarte is one of the most important names in Tropicália, a Brazilian cultural movement of the 1960s. The plastic artist was one of the first to publicly denounce the tortures committed in the military regime. During the dictatorship, its political action and its cultural achievements mobilized many artists and inspired a whole generation.

Directed by José Walter Lima, Rogério Duarte, o Tropikaoslista leans on a strong ensemble — Rogério Duarte, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
