Cazuza: Time Doesn't Stop
Directed by Sandra Werneck, Walter Carvalho
Produced by Lereby Produções, Cineluz - Produções Cinematográficas Lda.
A biographical portrait of a Brazilian rock star's vibrant, turbulent life and his courageous struggle with AIDS, grounded in family bonds and the music that defined him.
Inspired by the moving book “Só as Mães São Felizes”, by Lucinha Araújo, Cazuza's mother, the film covers a little more than 10 years of the singer’s crazy and brief life – from the beginning of his career in the Circo Voador venue, in 1981, to the huge success and the apotheosis of his shows with the Barão Vermelho band, his solo career, his relations with his parents, friends, lovers and passions, and the courage he had to face his final years, with HIV, until his death, in 1990.
