A tour de force, Miúcha, the Voice of Bossa Nova tells the story of the renowned Brazilian singer through her personal letters, audio diaries, home movies, and expressive watercolor drawings animated for the film. The male musicians in Miúcha's life overshadowed her. She was known as the sister of Chico Buarque, the pupil of Vinicius de Moraes, the second wife of João Gilberto, the musical partner of Antônio Carlos Jobim, and the vocal accompaniment to Stan Getz's saxophone. But Miúcha's vibrant spirit couldn't be held back, even as she struggled to find her own voice in a man's world. She earned unprecedented success, becoming a symbol of female resilience and a musical legend forever.

based entirely on her own diaries, letters, recordings, and watercolors... The film follows the trajectory of Miúcha’s life in chronological order, and in her experiences one can also see a reflection of the changes in women’s lives during those times.

@RT69527060 1 day ago ‘에디트 피아프의 공연은 대단했지만 제가 되고 싶은 아티스트는 피아프와 다르다는 걸 깨달았어요.’ 음원과 영상, 사진, 편지를 수채화 그림과 함께 빠진 부분 없이 잘 엮어 미우샤의 인생 중반까지를 담아냈다. 남편과 헤어진 후 활발한 음악활동과 페미니즘을 급히 담다 끝나버리는 엔딩은 아쉬운 뒷심부족. ‘성공적인 결혼의 공식은 최대한 빨리 이혼하는 거예요. / 결혼은 시궁창에 빠지는 것과 같아. 넌 절대 결혼하지 마.’ 미우샤의 주앙 질베르토처럼 남편놈의 지질한 질투와 가스라이팅 때문에 더 빨리 날개를 펴지 못한 비슷한 다큐가 있는데 아무리 생각해도 제목이나 주인공이 기억나질 않는다. 추후 생각나면 추가할 것. 그나저나 사르트르 형이랑 보부아르 누나가 여기서 왜 나와요. 음악 때문에 한 번 더 봤다. 몽글몽글 편안하고 부드러운 미우샤의 매력적인 보컬이란! 보사노바 곡을 또 써야겠다. 함께 하고픈 보컬도 이미 낙점. - EIDF2023 See more Read all reviews
