Bye Bye Brazil
Television is their enemy as they go from the coast deep into the Amazon
Directed by Carlos Diegues
Produced by LC Barreto
A picaresque road film following a traveling carnival troupe deeper into Brazil's interior, capturing the collision between old entertainment traditions and the encroaching modern world.
The Caravana Rolidei rolls into town with the Gypsy Lord at the mike: he does magic tricks, the erotic Salomé dances, and the mute Swallow performs feats of strength. A young accordion player is completely enamored of Salomé, and he begs to come along. The Gypsy Lord shrugs, and the accordionist and his pregnant wife, Dasdô, join the troupe.
