Latin Blood - The Ballad of Ney Matogrosso

Homem com H is a risky biopic. After all, director Esmir Filho (Verlust) has the mission of telling the story of Ney Matogrosso, one of the greatest performers of Brazilian music and owner of historic hits such as Poema, O Vira and Sangue Latino. But, more than that, Man with an H needs to go beyond the artist and explore the person behind Ney -- with his inconsistencies, imperfections, loves, daring. All of this, fortunately, can be felt on the screen, in an undeniably bloated feature film, which insists on starting from Ney's childhood and going up to the time when the film hits theaters, with the biographee at 83 years old. So, we can say that Homem com H has several structural problems like so many other biopics out there, but it saves itself by having heart and soul, for real. You will be enchanted, you will sing and you will be moved, especially if you are a fan of Ney's work.
