In the 1960s, Tom Zé creates a unique form of music that melds traditional song styles with contemporary political messages and flamboyant theatrics. Though he falls into obscurity in the 1970s, Zé achieves popularity in America in the 1990s after David Byrne, the singer of the Talking Heads, pioneers the re-release of his music. Riding high on a full-blown comeback, Zé continues to make his music and to tour, affirming his place in the pop music canon.

Audience Member A loving look at an incredible artist-one of my favorite artists of all time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member doc. was a tedious and way too spotty on the full story, but theres still enough here to make it close to a must see. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Um vislumbre da alma de Tom Zé, um dos maiores músicos do Brasil. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Tem o mérito de apresentar às novas gerações o músico multifacetado, o tropicaliente banido e o ser humano sem amarras sociais. Por outro lado fica claro que ainda não é a obra definitiva sobre Tom Zé. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
