Soixante-dix critiques et cinéastes discutent du cinéma autour du conflit entre l'artiste et l'observateur, le créateur et le critique. Entre 1998 et 2007, Kléber Mendonça Filho a enregistré des témoignages sur cette relation au Brésil, aux États-Unis et en Europe, à partir de son expérience de critique.

Released in 1966 by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell, the record Os Afro-Sambas is one of Brazil's most revered.
