The feature film sees Mariana Alexandre in the role of the rocker, who marked the music scene of the fifties and sixties; see trailer
On Sunday 19th, the Brazilian Cinema Day was celebrated. There would be a lot to celebrate, in terms of quality, films like Hope this finds you and you are well, Secret friend And a fresh shoot, but the frequency remains low. Many people are still afraid to go back to the cinema and young people, more fearless, run to see the blockbusters. Brazilian cinema continues to beg in its market.
Luiz Alberto Pereira, the gal, got 25 rooms nationwide for his biopic about national rock pioneer Celly Campello. Only 25! – and in some the hours aren’t even full.
There was an expectation, even so, of a reasonable audience. Marianna Alessandro, who plays the role, has more than 6 million followers on social media and the crowns – 60 and 70 – are certainly reminiscent of Celly. “W-oh what a great friend, phenomenal girl / she made a total hit / And choked at the festival.” The film had a paltry 3,000 viewers over the weekend. He deserved a lot more. Gal Pereira has biographies on his resume such as Hans Staden. He is the first to recognize it a fresh shoot it is very different. It is more in the spirit of Red carpetits beautiful celebration of the figure of Mazzaropiwith an anthological interpretation of Matteo Nachtergaele like the jack.
Gal tells her motivation. He is also from Taubaté, like Celly and his brother Tony. You know that club, the pool, the radio where he sang, but the real motivation was something else. “I was very young, but I noticed the thrill of youth, of my sister, who knew all of Celly’s songs by heart. Her intention was to delve into the behavior of a young girl I met, in the national rock that was emerging – I ‘I’m talking about the late 1950s, your way. “
It helped a lot that the co-writer Dimas de Oliveira Jr. about meeting Celly and I’ve even seen many of their shows. “It was essential to capture the spirit of the times, both in the behavior of young people and in places and cultural traits”. There is a calculated naivety and a lot of affection in the brothers’ relationship.
Tony, who left Taubaté to make a career in Sao Paulo, imposed his sister. She was also the one who renamed her: she was Celia, now Celly. “She died in 2003, but Tony is still alive and has given very important advice.” Slang, the relationship between artists and record companies. Tony has told many stories that are in the film. He lent items from his collection to him to ensure authenticity. “And, of course, we’ve done extensive research on the Museum of image and soundwhich has a well-preserved music archive, with excellent interviews from many artists. “
Saturday 18, Celly would have turned 80. He was at his peak, racking up hits like a fresh shoot, Moon bath And Stupid cupid, when he abandoned his career for love. Her boyfriend, future husband, did not want a woman artist. “It was a time of a lot of prejudice, and that’s what the film is also about,” explains the director.
The timing, the tone, everything was challenging, and then there was the “who?” Who could play the role? She should have been pretty, she should have been charismatic, she should have been singing and acting. “I tested many girls, but when Marianna sat at the piano and played and sang Stupid cupid, the search is over. It had to be her. ” Murilo Armacollowho plays his brother, “it was another wonderful discovery. The two came from musicals. They made three together.”
And there was still input from the rest of the cast. Claudio Fontanaknown on TV and theater, he plays the label’s press officer. Fontana himself says: “Gal is a director who is very open to suggestions. Anything that can improve the film accepts it. I proposed that my character was some kind of parrot, or talking cricket. He keeps repeating, like an echo, the words of the label owner. It was fun. “
There is still time to increase the audience of a fresh shoot. 3 thousand and one, two. As in the lyrics of the song: “The sprout later revealed itself / he proved to be a major / The whole band even stopped / In rock’n’roll we both put on a show”.
