Intermissions (2004)
Directed by João Moreira Salles
Overview
Intermissions follows Lula during the hectic election campaign for the presidency in 2002. Lula gave filmmaker João Moreira Salles and his crew complete access, and the result is an intimate documentary of what went on behind the scenes. Sometimes, Lula is afraid that he will lose his freedom as president. Combined with Lula’s candor, the film’s observational style provides some very special insight into one of Brazil’s most popular leaders.
