Raul: O Início, o Fim e o Meio
Directed by Walter Carvalho
Produced by A.F. Cinema e Vídeo
A documentary portrait of Brazilian rock legend Raul Seixas that traces his intense, brief life through archive footage and intimate testimonies, balancing celebration of his artistic legacy with the melancholy of his early death.
As the world boiled in the rush of Easy Rider bikes, in the frenetic pace of Elvis Presley, in Beatniks poets, in the explosion of counterculture, a boy from Bahia gave birth to Rock in Brazil. A runaway flying saucer that abducted the hearts and minds of thousands of fans, Raul Seixas, a man who became a myth. Raul died young because he lived intensely. Rock n 'roll, free love, alternative society, drugs, black magic, military dictatorship, women and daughters. A man who wanted to live from his work and died for it. The beginning, the end and the middle are confused, because the story is not over. The film reveals through rare images of archive, meeting with relatives, conversations with artists, producers and friends, the trajectory of the legend of Rock.
