Sao Paulo is the largest city in South America and the powerhouse
of Brazil's economy. A multi-racial metropolis with a diverse
population of Asian, Arabic, and European immigrants as well as
migrants from other parts of Brazil, it is a global city with
international reach. Films set in Sao Paulo often replace the
postcard images of beautiful tropical beaches and laidback
lifestyles with working environments and the search for better
opportunities. Bikinis and flip flops give way to urban
subcultures, sport, entertainment, and artistic movements. The
ability to transcend national boundaries, and its resistance to
stereotypical images of an "exotic" Brazil, make Sao Paulo a
fascinating location in which to explore Brazil's changing economic
and cultural landscapes.
The first comprehensive guide to filmic representations of Sao
Paulo, this book serves as an introduction to the city for film
enthusiasts, visitors, and tourists while simultaneously opening
scholarly debates on global concerns such as marginalization, rapid
urbanization, and child poverty.
