Scans of current magazine will be available here soon.

There’s no Rodrigo picture and the article it’s in Portuguese. But here’s some excerpts:

Che not counted with the American financing. “It is a Spanish film”, explains the producing Laura Bickford, who came to Sao Paulo with Del Toro and Rodrigo Santoro to promoting the movie. “It is spoken in Spanish, was shot part of Spain and performed through help of Spanish TV”.
But even so couldn’t have scenes captured in Cuba, thanks to the embargo of the USA. “We shot in Bolivia in all places where Che was. The party which is happening in Cuba was filmed in Porto Rico”, she said, recalling that, as Americans, could not film in Cuba. “No American has permission to do business in Cuba, but they enabled us to do research and talk with people who lived that history”

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 Until August 16 they will be exhibited more 13 films, among thrown them recently and other still unpublished.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.”

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.

And what you take in that suitcase?
My clothes. As I take a work among the other, or I am in the work, or in the hotel.

Do you take something for reminding of Brazil?
Damn it, dude! I have a flag. (laughs)

Serious? What size?
It’s small, but it’s in the suitcase. Sometimes, I leave it at the bathroom…

Did Hollywood impress you?
It has that whole breeze in turn of the stars, the mansions. But I found funny, even comical. It’s a very distant reality.

What more it left frightened you?
In Los Angeles, the houses are very big, those mansions, the amount of cars.

Is money important for you?
No. Only to buy food, to travel and to have the basic things to live. I am not very attached to money.

Something inconvenienced you there?
I found funnier than uncomfortable. Sometimes, I thought: “Damn it, the guy has eight cars!” It is a collector thing, but it is a lifestyle, it’s part of that glamour thing. I had fun with the history. Out that, is a normal city, where we drives a lot. For everything you need car. It’s there close has Santa Mônica, where is the beach. I try to be there because it reminds me Brazil.

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!
