Joaquim Pedro de Andrade Retrospective
Vereda Tropical (1977)
Brazil
An episode from the feature Erotic Stories, based on the short story by the same name by Pedro Maia Soares that, at the time, produced a great uproar because it presented actor Cláudio Cavalcanti working his way into a watermelon. Joaquim Pedro de Andrade explains: "A chronicle about a refined moral defect, a lyrical encounter in the escapist footpaths of Paquetá, image verbalization, and shamefully brazen exposure of erotic fantasies, Vereda Tropical speaks out against a genital vocation in legumes, the intelligence of maidens, a taste for life, and the sum total of Carlos Galhardo`s poetry. Educational and libertarian." Carlos Galhardo (1913-1985) was singer and writer of lyrics for the MPB.
