Based on the life and works of Oswald de Andrade, a Brazilian writer who was one of the main persons responsible for Brazil's Modern Art Week, in 1922, in the city of São Paulo. The film narrates his amorous adventures amidst discussions about art, politics, Brazilian identity, etc.
A film that appears to succeed at getting its subject through to the viewer. But I don't think it is a particularly interesting film, especially for those with no particular interest in Brazil and its beginning-of-the-century intellectuals. The acting style is very theatrical, as supposedly imposed by the filmmaker's concept of the movie.
