Lively documentary about the Brazilian samba star who became a fixture in Hollywood musicals and eventually a camp icon. Director Helena Solberg unearths fascinating material about Miranda's early life and importance within Brazilian pop culture (she was jeered as a sell-out during what was supposed to be a triumphant return to her native country). Belying her image as a goofy Latin bomshell, Miranda emerges as a remarkably canny manipulator of her own star persona and career. leave a comment
