Director Darren Bartlett first visited CINECITY in 2007 with his documentary O ZELADOR about Brazilian Capoeira. In his second feature documentary he returns to Brazil to explore the multi-faceted and vibrant culture that stretches across the country’s social divides. It is a study of Rio from its picture postcard beaches through to the tough suburbs, using informed commentary from academics, artists and footballers (including legendary 80′s Brazilian captain Socrates) and last but not least O Povo (the people).
From this diverse selection CADENCIA builds a picture of Rio’s sports and cultures, it’s divisions, it’s traditions, and the cohesion that creates the strong unified image Brazil projects to the world. Finely crafted with a strong visual style the film clearly reflects Bartlett’s own enthusiasm and love of the country and is an engaging exploration of the rapidly developing nation.
