Too many things in this film are so weird, fake, invented and/or straight wrong it's hard to know where to begin. In the official description of the 'docu' we read i.e. 'João Gilberto, who has not been seen in public for decades.....'- lol. A quick search on Youtube gives us a full solo concert of his in Tokyo from 2006! And that was not his last one!
The 'auteur' of this documentary tries mostly to make himself beings even as important and searching for the mysterious Joao Gilberto. It's true that Joao became reclusive in his final years (not decades), his health deteriorated massively. It is well known where he lived during that time (not in Ipanema) and that the book author nor the director producer of this weirdo doc were not able to find events place is a sad reminder of the level where this production stands. Forgettable and not worth the time watching.
