Carmen Miranda: Bananas Is My Business

Aroview: Catch fever Brazilia (followed by a dose of true story reality) in this all-you-need-to-know expose of the exuberant Samba star who was a revered musical artist and international symbol of Brazil, but whose ‘novelty’ was quickly absorbed and discarded by Hollywood.

Obviously mad-about-Miranda, the film-maker assembles a wealth of film clips and revealing interviews with passion and authority.
