Amor Sertanejo

"From the beginning of caipira with Tonico and Tinoco, Milionário and José Rico and Inezita Barroso, passing through the successes of Chitãozinho & Xororó, Leonardo and Zezé di Camargo & Luciano and, mainly, until today with the "university students". The sertanejo has evolved over the years and has become a phenomenon. A money-making machine. And it is in this transformation and in this success that the good documentary 'Amor Sertanejo' focuses. In it, director Fabrício Bittar leaves Danilo Gentili's besteirol comedy to put an analytical look on the genre. After all, more than talking about this transformation of regional music to a more pop sound, the film brings a rare critical sense to be seen. There are provocations, reflections and questions. Even though the lack of essential interviewees, such as As Irmãs Galvão, César Menotti & Fabiano and Zezé di Camargo & Luciano, is perceptible, the important thing is there, highlighted in 78 minutes. And the best: it is not a documentary only for sertanejo fans. But for everyone who likes to understand more about music and how the industry has changed in recent years."
