O Outro Lado da Memória

Movie · 1h 50m

Starring André Luiz Oliveira, Gilberto Gil, Alice de Andrade, Bertrand Duarte

In 1996, filmmaker André Luiz Oliveira started preproduction of Viva o Povo Brasileiro, a film adaptation of the novel by João Ubaldo Ribeiro. Principal photography went on for nine years, but the production was shut down after a series of unfortunate events. This documentary retells that story, repurposing the fictional footage and chronicling the work both in front and behind the scenes.
