It is the first feature film to portray the life of one of the greatest divas of Portuguese music.
It is a film that covers the life of the fado singer from her youth until her mature international superstar career, as the representative of Portugal in the world. This film is an excellent biopic of the singer, who owes much to the magnificent work of actress Sandra Barata. The composition that she made Amalia is sublime and depends not only on the wardrobe of the character, there's sadness in her eyes, which was evident in the singer. Maybe just so that she could sing so intimately and yet bitter. The script of Pedro Marta Santos and John Tordo is very good. The scene in which she leans over the abyss is something that surprises us, I believe that few people knew this fatalistic side of the singer's personality and at the same time is a scene of great aesthetic beauty. Her at the top of the world, reached the recognition of all, in the city that never sleeps and still she's alone. The passions and hatreds of the star are also part of this movie, because those, her men, also help to write the story of Amalia. Ricardo Carriço, is one such example, is a consecrated actor of the Portuguese art world and the proof is in his character his Cesar Seabra is exquisite. If you have not seen, and advise silence that fado is been sang. Good movie.
