Rogério Duprat - Vida de Músico(2002)

Rogério Duprat: Vida de Músico is a documentary portrait of the visionary Brazilian composer who shaped Tropicália, one of the twentieth century's most radical musical movements. The film captures Duprat at work with legendary collaborators including Gal Costa, Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, and Caetano Veloso, documenting the creative rehearsals that defined an era. Alongside these sessions, the documentary features the premiere performance of his 1958 "5 Pieces for a Solo Cello" and rare recordings of "Organismo," an ambitious serial composition born from poet Décio Pignatari's experimental verse. Through these intimate glimpses into Duprat's artistic process, the film traces his evolution from classical training to avant-garde innovation, revealing the mind behind Brazil's most transformative musical moment.
