Beats of the Heart - The Spirit of Samba: Black Music of Brazil Reviews

---

Excellent slice of Brazilian history and Modern life
An excellent documentary. A diverce mosaic collecting a complex image of Brazilian society. Watched with the great interest. There is just enough of good music and dancing of all sorts. Interesting, that the more prominent the performers are, the less interesting their music and dancing is. I am dancing samba and I am interested in hystory of humanity. The film answered a lot of my questions not just about samba and Brazil, but about the course of our civilization development overall. Thank you, Igor Polk.

Sophomoric analysis sucks all the joy out the music!
Don't waste your time or money on this dog. More of pseudo-marxist diatribe than musical documentary. Bletch!
