Música
- RT Score: 96%
- Age rating: PG-13
- Length: 91 minutes
- Director: Rudy Mancuso
Música is a coming-of-age romantic comedy with a unique twist. Set in a Brazilian neighborhood in Newark, this loosely autobiographical story of the writer and star Rudy Mancuso sees him play a street performer who has synesthesia and can “personify sounds, feel shapes and see music”.
While Rudy’s girlfriend struggles to deal with his condition, he soon meets Isabella (Camila Mendes) and what comes next is a burst of musical performances as he navigates the pressures of love, family and his Brazilian culture. Música is a magical insight into Rudy’s overwhelming yet fascinating mind that’s forever creating art even when he doesn’t want to.
The Burial
