撮要

“FADOS” is the new masterpiece from award-winning director Carlos Saura and the latest installment in his musical cycle initiated more than 15 years ago by “SEVILLANAS” (1992), “FLAMENCO” (1995), “TANGO” (1998 - Oscar Nominee for best foreign film), “SALOMÉ” (2002) and “IBERIA” (2005). “FADOS” opens a new chapter and sets new challenges for the famous director – now 75 - as it attempts to capture the exclusive nature of the Portuguese “saudade” and to depict a faithful portrait of the Portuguese soul through its most emblematic musical genre.

Using Lisbon as its iconic backdrop, the movie explores the intricate relationship between the music and the city, and Fado´s evolution over the years from its African and Brazilian origins up to the new wave of modern Fadistas.

Under the musical supervision of Carlos do Carmo, the movie features one of the finest “World Music” soundtracks to date, gathering the best of new Portuguese talent like Mariza or Camané, together with foreign legends Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque or up-and-coming stars Lila Downs and Lura.
