Chico e as Cidades

About This Movie

Ah, 'Chico e as Cidades'—it’s like a soothing musical journey that veers into the everyday lives of cities through the lens of a unique artist. The documentary feels less structured and more like a series of poetic vignettes, capturing the essence of the urban landscape while intertwining music and storytelling in a way that’s both intimate and expansive. José Henrique Fonseca’s direction brings a warm, almost nostalgic vibe, making it easy to get lost in the sounds and sights. The extras on the DVD are nice touches, particularly the music videos that deepen the experience, rounding out the storytelling with a touch of visual flair. It’s this blend of atmosphere and raw performance that sets it apart in the documentary scene.
