Ivan Lins: MPB Especial

The film has Gal's career as its guiding principle, drawing a parallel with the movement of which the singer was the muse and one of the main interpreters, and reaching the present day.

Recorded in 1973, this TV show brings Elis Regina in an 'ensaio' (improvisation). The programme aired by TV Cultura rescues the living memory of the greatest MPB star through her testimonials on composers and performers. The images are black and white and with camera close-ups, it denounces the restless, strong-willed hands of Elis.
