World Cinema Clips: Carlos Diegues‘ road movie Bye Bye Brasil / Bye Bye Brazil (1979) is possibly the best Brazilian film I’ve seen. (Admittedly, I’ve seen only about 70 or so Brazilian productions.)

Set in the Amazonian region, Bye Bye Brasil follows a troupe of down-and-out itinerant entertainers as they attempt to sort through their emotional entanglements in Brazil’s rapidly changing rural environment of the late 1970s.

The clip below shows Brazilian superstars José Wilker and Betty Faria, as, respectively, Lorde Cigano, the Master of Ceremonies, and Salomé, the Queen of Rumba. Before the "rumba" is over, Faria has bewitched Fábio Júnior — much to the chagrin of his companion, Zaira Zambelli.
