Not men, not women ... just people. Chronicle of the amazing performance troupe Dzi Croquettes is an informative and entertaining documentary looking back on these dance and sexual pioneers. One wishes better performance footage exsisted but glimpses we do get certainly make one wish they could have been there.
No solo supusieron un punto de inflexión en el teatro de variedades sino que, a la vez, nos enseñan una manera mucho más moderna y libre de prejuicios de entender la sensualidad y la sexualidad. Si no conocíaas nada de ellos, como era mi caso, esta es una muy buena manera de introducirse al tema
Amazing!!!! One of the best films I've seen!!!! Beautiful and very well done! It showcases to the world the importance of this group in changing Brazilian History and a whole society...The Dzi Croquettes challenged the brutal Dictatorship that gripped Brazil in the 70’s through humor… dressed as women although not behaving as such… they used Intelligence to fight the government! The director's personal attachment to the project, her father used to work in the technical staff, was endearing and touching… featuring interviews with Liza Minnelli, Gilberto Gil, Marília Pêra, Miguel Falabella, Cláudia Raia, Cesar Camargo Mariano, among many others important names in Brazilian culture...Dzi Croquettes is a Must!! Nor man nor woman, people!
A força de está no grupo genial que ele resgata, não exatamente nas qualidades cinematográficas do filme. Mas ok, imaginava. Em todo caso, é um resgate válido. Eu não conhecia o grupo até ler sobre o filme ano passado, durante a Mostra de SP. E desconfio que o desconhecimento não seja exclusividade minha, mas pouca coisa justifica esse tipo de ignorância. Antes tarde do que nunca.
If you're stripped of prejudices and you like art in general, you should really watch this documentary. The magic life and career of 13 guys who just wanted to be free and perform for whoever wanted to watch them, and a whole lot of people wanted to. Homophobics, stay the fuck away from this film.
