Plot

edit

Based on the book Mussum – uma história de Humor e Samba, by Juliano Barreto, published in 2023 by HarperCollins[15][16], the plot unfolds in three distinct stages. In the first phase, we are introduced to the childhood of Antônio Carlos Bernardes Gomes, formerly known as Carlinhos (Thawan Lucas Bandeira), living in modest circumstances alongside his mother, Mrs. Malvina (Cacau Protásio).[17] Even in his youth, Carlinhos already showed a natural talent for music, although his mother disapproved, as he dreamed of becoming a soccer player.[17]

The second part follows Carlinhos as an adult (Yuri Marçal [pt]), as he pursued a career in the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) while simultaneously launching his nighttime performances with the group Os Originais do Samba, keeping this a secret from his family.[18] During this time, he meets his first wife, Nely (Jeniffer Dias [pt]), and begins to start his own family.[19]

In the third and final phase, now known as Carlinhos (Ailton Graça), he began to gain prominence through his television appearances.[20] During one of these appearances, he met Grande Otelo (Nando Cunha [pt]), who nicknamed him “Mussum”, a nickname that would make him famous throughout Brazil.[21][22]

Cast

Production

edit

Pre-production

edit
The film marks Silvio Guindane's [pt] directorial debut.

According to Silvio Guindane [pt], the film seeks to transcend a mere biography and establish itself as a story that resonates with the lives of millions of Brazilians. From his early struggles at a school for white students, with his mother encouraging her son to stand out and be the best, emphasizing that he is no less than anyone else.[23] From the acclaimed musician with the samba group Os Originais do Samba and in comedian with the group Os Trapalhões who addresses the children participating in the Mangueira do Futuro project—an educational initiative linked to the Rio de Janeiro samba school, Estação Primeira de Mangueira—encouraging them to persevere in their dreams, emphasizing that they are capable of achieving anything. Using Mrs. Malvina’s mantra, mother of Mussum, he repeats: “No one can take away your dreams. You can do anything. Because there are plenty of dumb white people out there. But a dumb black person? That’s a no-go.”[23]

Furthermore, Guindane faces the paradoxical challenge of telling a story that isn’t exactly new to some generations.[23] The film is based on the book Mussum – uma história de Humor e Samba by Juliano Barreto, who is also involved in the screenplay. The director brings together a predominantly Black cast to share a story that appeals to both those who already know it and those discovering it now.[21][24][25] The film addresses themes such as the value of family, the pursuit of knowledge as a tool for choice and power in work and life, and the fight against prejudice.[23] It took seven years of work to bring Mussum, o Filmis to the screen.[26]

Development

edit

The film was initially directed by producer Roberto Santucci of Panorama Filmes.[27] However, Guindane was contacted by Santucci, who encouraged him to take over as director because he had a more intimate perspective on the story.[28] With Ailton Graça already confirmed as the lead, Guindane rounded out the cast with prominent actresses such as Neusa Borges and Cacau Protásio in the roles of the comedian’s mother at different stages of his life, as well as actors Gero Camilo as Renato Aragão and Yuri Marçal [pt] as the young version of Mussum before he became famous.[18][29][30] The first studio photos showed a striking resemblance between Ailton Graça and Mussum.[20][31] Guindane notes that there were intense rehearsals to ensure that Graça truly embodied Mussum’s spirit, which was naturally reflected in his gestures and dialogue during filming.[32]

In February 2022, filming began on the feature film, with Ailton Graça, Cacau Protásio, Neusa Borges, Yuri Marçal [pt], and Thawan Lucas confirmed as part of the cast.[33] In an interview, on TV Globo’s, Altas Horas program, hosted by Serginho Groisman, the actor described the atmosphere behind the scenes of the film’s production as lively.[34] Starting in the mornings, the makeup room became a joyful place filled with drumming and samba singing, and at the end of each day’s filming, there were plenty of tributes to Mussum.[34] In an interview with journalist Carlos Oliveira of the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, Ailton remarked that at six in the morning, “everyone was drumming and singing samba.”[35]

Movie title

edit

The film plays with a series of puns by Mussum, which consist of a highly systematic comedic technique known as “Mussunguês,” that operates primarily through a morphophonological distortion of standard Portuguese.[36][37] The central mechanism is the parodic affixation of the suffix “-is” (or variations such as “-dis,” “-zis,” or “-vis”) to nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs, simulating a scholarly or Latinized hypercorrection that contrasts absurdly with the popular, roguish register often associated with cachaça (the “mé extra-fortis”).[38] This pragmatic incongruity, the pretense of sounding sophisticated while completely subverting standard language—generates humor through the theory of incongruity, reinforced by elements of macaronism (a mixture of Portuguese with distorted English, as in “tá de brincation uite me?”) and a samba-like rhythm. Classic phrases like “Tá tudo muito paradis,” “Cacildis!” or “Fim di semanis” exemplify this invented grammar, which transforms cultural traits of the Rio rogue into a mark of comic, making the style not just a sound pun, but a deeply Brazilian parody of identity and language.[39][40]

Release

edit

The film premiered in August 2023 at the 51st Gramado Film Festival.[41] The film had gala screenings during the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, the São Paulo International Film Festival, and at an event in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, as well as a public screening at the Mangueira samba school’s parade ground.[42] On November 1, the film had a national preview screening at the 5th Santos Geek Festival, at the SESC Santos Theater, in Santos, a coastal city [pt] in the state of São Paulo.[43][44] The theatrical release took place on November 2, 2023, distributed by the production companies Downtown Filmes and Paris Filmes.[13][45]

Reception

edit

Box Office

edit

Mussum, O Filmis was a commercial success. With wide distribution in over 1,180 movie theaters across the country, the film achieved the distinction of being one of the most-watched Brazilian productions of 2023.[48] According to data from Agência Nacional do Cinema (Ancine), the film was seen by 212,628 viewers, generating revenue of R$ 4.198.057,05.[49][50]

Critical

edit
Ailton Graça’s performance in the title role was highlighted by several critics as the film’s strongest point.

André Zuliani, from the culture website Omelete, gave the film a positive review, awarding it four out of five stars.[51] He praised Ailton Graça’s performance, stating that “he made this biopic the crowning achievement of his career,” and added, “Almost 30 years after the star’s death, Mussum: O Filmis proves to be a necessary biopic about one of the leading icons of Brazilian comedy.”[51] Ticiano Osório, writing for the Rio Grande do Sul newspaper Zero Hora, gave the film a positive review, praising its “nostalgic” appeal and noting: “As the catchphrases suggest, Mussum: O Filmis uses humor to address serious issues.”[52]

Daniel Schenker, of the newspaper O Globo, gave the film a mixed review, praising certain choices but criticizing the screenplay: "There is, however, a considerable gap between the performances and Paulo Cursino’s screenplay, which relies on tired tropes.[53] The structure is the same as in other films: it begins at a pivotal moment in the protagonist’s life (in this case, when his mother’s health deteriorates), flashes back in time, and then moves forward relative to the initial moment. This approach highlights the bond between Mussum and his mother, but as the film progresses, that bond loses prominence. Without a clear focus, the screenplay ends up merely stringing together the events of the comedian’s life."[53]

The performances of Cacau Protásio and Neusa Borges were also praised.

Maurício Meireles, of the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, gave the film three out of five stars.[54] The journalist described the cast as “formidable,” but criticized the film for “failing to directly address the issues of racism that the comedian faced throughout his career.”[54]

Célio Silva, wrote a positive review of the G1, praised Guindane’s poise as a director: “In his directorial debut, Guindane shows poise in both the funniest and most dramatic moments, as if he were already a veteran director.”[55]

Raquel Martins Ribeiro, writing for the Metrópoles website, described the film as excellent.[56] She noted that “Mussum, the filmmaker, also succeeds in addressing issues such as racism and elitism in such a subtle and humorous way that it might go unnoticed by some viewers. And wasn’t it precisely with this lightness that the comedian tackled the most sensitive topics?”.[56]
