To many the extraordinary musical universe of Antonio Carlos Jobim does not fit into words...he represents the real Rio: timeless, whole, perfect like a vintage postcard that makes us dream about (truly) the most beautiful city in the world. It was probably this exact overwhelming feeling merged on a multi dimensional sensitivity that lead director Nelson Pereira dos Santos (along with Dora Jobim) to have the imense courage of revealing on film the musical career of the grand Brazilian composer, author of a work that seems to live forever. His latest film: "A música segundo Tom Jombim" reveals Jobim's path completely through the sound of his own melodies, along with Heitor Villa-Lobos, one of the greatest exponents of all time in Brazilian music. A succession of images of large national and international artists starring unforgettable performances, and Tom Jobim himself at different times of his life. There is no word in the film...and yet is one that you simply cannot resist to watch. Quoted by the New York Times as "Pure immersion"...Showing at two of my favorite movie rooms in Rio: Instituto Moreira Salles (which I have clipped before) and the brand new Espaço Itaú Cinema (former Arteplex) in Botafogo. Happy Weekend Clippers xx I.
