A Night in 67

Renato Terra and Ricardo Calil's 2010 Brazilian documentary is about a televised song contest held in 1967. The programme was recorded before a live audience and ran on elimination. Those who took part that night became the best known names in Brazilian music. The documentary uses the archive recordings and speaks with the same people today; the audience booing certain songs and the tension on stage are reported in detail. The background is military government. The content of the songs and the audience's reaction carry the political division of the period; the documentary does not state this and leaves it to the footage. Who it's for: those who like Brazilian music and archive documentary. Who it's not for: viewers unfamiliar with the context; the film does not explain what the songs meant at the time.
