Negative Positive
Title: Another atrocious production. This is NOT a documentary.
Review: Please see my review on this production company's other Jobim DVD I just wasted time watching: "Jobim: Chega de Saudade." This is not a documentary, or if you want to stretch your imagination that it is, it's a supremely shoddy one. Most of the time is spent showing badly filmed, horribly recorded live stage performances of Jobim in his final years. I expected video insights into the great man's life and thoughts -- real interviews. But no, 98% time is spent on lousy sound on otherwise gorgeous songs, better listened to on iTunes. Even the wondrous Chico Buarque (one brief appearance on stage) sang horrendously off-key (no, not playfully Desafando), embarrassing himself.
Is the review positive or negative?
