The director Sérgio Machado pays a great tribute to the life and work Mário Peixoto a.k.a. Maçarico by his close friends with this documentary, using his diary; footages of "Limite", the never concluded "Onde a Terra Acaba" (1933) and the short "O Homem do Morcego" (1980); and interesting testimonies of Olga Breno, Ruy Solberg, Nelson Pereira dos Santos and Walter Salles among others.
Star-studded show recorded at the Big Sur Folk Festival, Big Sur, California, September 13th and 14th, 1969. Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian, and others. This film captures a remarkable moment in folk, rock, and pop history - the famous folk festival that brought traditional acts like Dorothy Morrison & The Combs Sisters and Carol Ann Cisneros together with the psychedelic rockers of the day who were most deeply rooted in the folk revival. Older songs like âOh Happy Day,â âRise And Shine,â âAll Godâs Children,â and âSwing Down, Sweet Chariotâ meet Joni Mitchellâs âWoodstock,â Joan Baezâs âSweet Sir Galahad,â âBob Dylanâs âI Shall Be Released,â CSNYâs âDown By The River,â and many more of the now-classic songs of what was then called the ânew rock.â The scene is notably intimate and - aside from one fanâs dustup with Stephen Stills - mellow, with many rare, close-up moments with the stars.
