Part of the series Cinema Tropical's Music + Film Series: Janeiro in New York
"In an age when the talented were both revolutionary and eternal, Wilson Simonal shone like no other and innovated like few. With his charisma, kindness, swing, charm, sex appeal and a lot of talent, he was the most successful star in Brazil and even made fans abroad. All of a sudden it was all over. Gossip, accusations, mysteries, patrols and pursuits; whatever happened to Wilson Simonal? Simonal – No One Knows How Tough It Was, portrays the impressive trajectory of a former army private that reigned sovereign in pop culture to end up ostracized for a crime of which he swore innocence." - Rio Film Festival
Directed by Claudio Manoel, Micael Langer, Calvito Leal. 86 min. 2008.
Scott Mitchem a NYC-based journalist who writes for Wallpaper* Magazine on design, architecture, travel and all things Rio de Janeiro & Brazil will introduce the film.
