Music According to Tom Jobim (A Música Segundo Tom Jobim) (Brazil, 2012)

Music According to Tom Jobim (2012)
April 21, 2013 - 7:00 pm
In-person: 
Nelson Pereira dos Santos.

"This freewheeling tribute to the Brazilian music legend Antonio Carlos “Tom” Jobim offered one of the most effortlessly enjoyable screening experiences in Cannes..." — Hollywood Reporter

Directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos

Nelson Pereira Dos Santos' latest effort is a simply constructed yet joyously satisfying celebration of Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim. Jobim's unprecedented global influence washes over the audience through an unfolding montage of archival performances of such bossa nova classics as "Desafinado," "Waters of March" and "The Girl from Ipanema." Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Carlinhos Brown and Caetano Veloso are just some of the artist's featured.
