Uma Noite em 67 (2010): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2010, Uma Noite em 67 is a musik, historie and dokumentarfilm film directed by Renato Terra, running about 85 minutes. “A documentary which shows the greatness in the Festival de Música Popular Brasileira of 1967.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. If you thought TV shows in which audiences and juries judge musical acts were a relatively new phenomenon, you'd better think again. In the 1970s, such "festivals" were incredibly popular in Brazil. They were recorded before a live studio audience, and usually featured a number of elimination rounds. They also formed the springboard for the career of many a big-name star, such as Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Roberto Carlos and Gilberto Gil. Appearing on such a program was no cakewalk, however: audiences could be as wild in their condemnation as in their appreciation of an artist. Extensive archive footage (including performances and behind-the-scenes interviews) from a turbulent final of the Festival of Brazilian Popular Music one evening in 1967 paints a fascinating picture, not only of the transformation of Brazilian music into real "festival" music, but also of a society starting to buck against the yoke of military rule.

Who’s in it. Uma Noite em 67 stars Caetano Veloso as Self, Sérgio Ricardo as Himself, Gilberto Gil as Self and Chico Buarque as Self, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.8/10, Uma Noite em 67 has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
