Storyline

Viramundo shows the saga of the northeastern migrants that arrive in São Paulo, beginning with a train arriving and ending with a train leaving São Paulo in a cycle repeated every day. Viramundo's aim was to question why the military coup d'état in Brazil happened without any popular resistance or revolution or reaction of the society.

I felt that though the film's musical interludes had colour and life, the political discussions were a little blandly right-on.

A sweet-natured but soporific slab of positive musing - and positive music - featuring Gilberto Gil, Brazilian singer-songwriter and Lula-era minister of culture.
