Elza
“The woman of the end of the world sang until the very end.”
With her radical voice, visceral improvisation, and unmistakable rasp, Elza Soares created a language all her own and crossed generations, continually reinventing herself as one of Brazil’s greatest artists. In the documentary that bears her name, Elza narrates her own story, weaving together a diary of memories, desires, and reflections through music, in dialogue with historic Brazilian films. Through Elza and her nearly century-long life, the film offers an X-ray of a country in turmoil.
