Garrincha: Joy of the People
Directed by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade
Produced by Armando Nogueira Produções Cinematográficas, LC Barreto
A celebratory yet bittersweet documentary capturing a soccer virtuoso at his peak while foreshadowing the personal decline and tragic obscurity that would follow.
Documentary about the most famous dribbler in Brazilian Soccer (some say in Soccer's history!) at the zenith of his career, showing classic scenes of 1958 and 1962 World Cup. Garrincha was a very original and talented player, having curved legs. Women and alcohol were his passion, and the cause of his later decadence. After a glorious career, he died in financial misery, forgotten.
