Noel Poeta da Vila / The Samba Poet
 Online TicketkaufCapitol (1) / Wednesday 03.October, 18:30 Uhr Trailer | Brasilien 2006, Director: Ricardo Van Steen, Screenplay: Pedro Vicente, Producer: Paulo Dantas, Coproducer: Zohar Cinema e Comunicaçao, Music: Luís Filipe de Lima, Camera: Paulo Vainer, Cut: Umberto Martins, Costumes: Bia Salgado, Actors: Camila Pitanga, Paulo Cesar Peréio, Jonathan Haagensen, Rafael Raposo, Farbe Rio de Janeiro, 1920: Noel Rosa, son of a middle-class family living in the white, middle-class district of Vila Isabel, should actually be studying medicine. Instead he prefers to write poetry, nurture friendships with easy women and similarly aged blacks from the Favelas – and to make music. The popular song «Come que roupa», which parodies the Brazilian national anthem, marks the beginning of Noel Rosa’s triumph as the reviver of the popular Brazilian music, the samba. Yet the feverishly intense life comes at a price. The poet and philosopher dies of tuberculosis at the age of 26. Today, his musical legacy of 259 compositions belongs to the standard repertoire. The film impressively depicts the life stages of the man who revived the samba and shaped it into the music we know today. Supporting Film: Bellringer_Dustin Rees |
