The Mandarin backdrop

The Mandarin 1995 Directed by Júlio Bressane O Mandarim

A great homage to Brazilian popular music and a great film

The history of Brazilian popular music in the 20th Century, focusing specially on the life and works of intriguing singer Mário Reis, a loner who, with his special way of singing - whispering and softly saying the words - in a time when singers with potent voices ruled, was in a way a forerunner of Bossa Nova style.
