Film Movement will release on Blu-ray Carlos Diegues's Bye Bye Brazil (1980), starring Betty Faria, Fábio Jr., José Wilker, and Zaira Zambelli. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 24.
Description: The Caravana Rolidei rolls into town with the Gypsy Lord at the mike: he does magic tricks, the erotic Salomé dances, and the mute Swallow performs feats of strength. A young accordion player is completely enamored of Salomé, and he begs to come along. The Gypsy Lord shrugs, and the accordionist and his pregnant wife, Dasdô, join the troupe. Television is their enemy as they go from the coast deep into the Amazon. Salomé lets the accordion player sleep with her once, with Dasdô's knowledge. He's moon-struck. Then, after Dasdô's baby is born and financial disaster hits the troupe, the accordionist must choose between seeing his wife, a prostitute, and leaving the caravan.
