Tudo Bem and nacional-popular in Brazil of the 70s

Abstract

The film Tudo bem written and directed by Arnaldo Jabor, was released at the movie theaters in 1978 - during the dictatorial regime distention - with Embrafilme governmental support. The film itself is a documental reference to the analysis of the political active artists'speech after the military empowerment in 1964, and the cultural policy established by the subsequent military governments. Tudo bem brings, in its own title, an irony to that time. The story has its place in Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro, inside a mid-class apartment that was being repaired.
