Maria Rita concert and exhibition of “Os Desafinados” in Central Park open Cine Fest Petrobrás Brasil.

Central Park wins trail and style of Copacabana Beach tomorrow, in the opening of Cine Fest Petrobrás, stage of the internal circuit that happens in the Great Apple. The party will begins in great style, with a show of Maria Rita. Soon afterwards we’ll have the exhibition outdoors of “Os Desafinados”, (”Out of Tune”, the international title) of Walter Lima Jr., that opens in the end of the month in the Brazilian theaters. Until August 16 they will be exhibited more 13 films, among thrown them recently and other still unpublished.

The exhibition of “Os Desafinados” in NY wins importance because the city is character of the film, and it has a fundamental paper for the popularization of the Brazilian music. Director Walter Lima, that was there to exhibit his film in MOMA, speaks a little more on the subject: “We already showed the film in MOMA, in NY, for a vibrant audience and we will show it outdoors, in a big screen in Central Park, preceded by a show in commemoration of 50 years of the Bossa Nova opening the festival. My expectations with the film in the city are the best ones possible, since the filmings. During the presentation we will be present me, Rodrigo Santoro and Ângelo Paes Leme, and the members of the North American team”, tells Walter.

The film director insists in tells the importance of the city in his film: “It has a larger meaning in the expansion of the Brazilian music to the world. It was there that was made the first Bossa Nova international show, in Carnegie Hall’s fabled stage. The city is an icon of greatness and modernity, and it’s for there that goes all the talents that looked for recognition. It have an important paper in our characters’ path.”

It was in a cold afternoon, in São Paulo, that we were face to face with the most famous Brazilian from Hollywood. Besides telling us that he adores to surf and to play tennis, he also revealed that misses Brazil. Check the interview!

I need to say: I saw Rodrigo at closer. The guy is beautiful, scented and speech of a way calm, very low, that he makes you to render alone attention in him. It seemed there not to be nobody in the room while we talked about the glamour of Hollywood - that doesn’t impress him - and how he misses Brazil.

Where do you live in USA?
Actually, I don’t live there. I live here, in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro. There I only have a suitcase. I live a gypsy life.

I got a really poor quality copy of the 1996 Sai de Baixo episode which Rodrigo did a great appearance. I tried to make some caps (actually I already did it), but it’s not the best caps you ever saw.

Also, my friend Mariana sent me scans from the latest “Revista de Domingo” (Sunday’s Magazine) from Jornal do Brazil, a newspaper from Rio de Janeiro. There’s 6 pages (8, plus cover and editorial) with pictures and information about Rodrigo’s new project, about football (soccer) player Heleno de Freitas.

Heleno de Freitas was a very good football player, but controversial, rude, temperamental, bohemian, that died at 39 years old of aneurysm (maybe because the life he lived, with drugs, alcohol, night and womens), after having gone in a mental institute, as crazy. As you can see, it will be a very strong role!
