An enjoyable time with the great poet Manuel Bandeira

A special short directed by the great Joaquim Pedro de Andrade ("Os Inconfidentes", "Macunaíma") presenting a little about the routine of genius poet Manuel Bandeira. We follow Bandeira buying milk, then heading back to his apartment where he spends some time preparing the milk, then typing some words on his typing machine, receving a phone call and later on walking out again. During his walk out, his voice can be heard performing his classic poem "Vou-me Embora pra Pasárgada" where he describes his ideal place to live where all his wishes become true. The initial words might come from another piece of his but I'm not familiar with that, where he mentions about things in life and the sadness of not being a father.

Andrade turns everything into a fantastic view of the poet's world, the simple routine of a man, a writer, enjoying his solitude and composing his art. It would be a little interesting if a brief interview with Bandeira could be made, just to see his opinions on everything or some information being shared. But on a way to get the know a little about the man, and how he performs his verses is fascinating for itself. His voice sounds very warm and relax. The restaured version is amazingly beautiful, showing a very careful cinematography, very unlikely from movies of that period. This was a perfect combination of literature with cinema. 8/10.
