Infinita Tropicália

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.

Directed by Adilson Ruiz, Infinita Tropicália leans on a strong ensemble — Chiquinho Brandão, Gilberto Gil, Itamar Assumpção — 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 1986.
