- Where
are you, João Gilberto? is a feature-length
documentary adapted from the book Hobalala by the
German journalist and writer, Marc Fischer. In his
book originally written in German, Marc Fischer tells
of his compulsive search for the last great musical
legend of our time, the Brazilian musician João
Gilberto. The creator of the Bossa Nova and a modern
myth of popular music, Gilberto has not appeared in
public for decades.
-
- Though
Marc Fischer ultimately fails in his efforts to track
down and meet João Gilberto, he does succeed in
compiling an animated account of Brazil's music and
culture, and especially of its most electrifying
tradition, the Bossa Nova. Published in hardback by
Rogner & Bernhard in 2011 and later in paperback
by the prestigious German publisher Suhrkamp,
this exceptionally well documented, lively and witty
book is filled with delightful anecdotes. It has been
translated into Portuguese and published in Brazil by
Companhia
das Letras.
A
week before his book came out, Marc Fischer committed
suicide.
|
- Driven
by the same passion that possessed Marc Fischer, our
film follows his footsteps as it sets out on its own
journey through Brazil to discover João
Gilberto. Like Marc Fischer, we ask who is João
Gilberto, where is he hiding and why has he
disappeared from sight? What is the essence of the
Bossa Nova, this musical movement he worked with
others to create?
-
- With
the advantages of cinema and a local knowledge he did
not always have, we shall take up Marc's quest by
following the trail of his legacy as we pursue the
story, heart and soul of João Gilberto and his
Bossa Nova with all the nostalgic longing of
saudade.
-
- Over
the past twelve years, Georges Gachot has produced and
directed three feature-length films on Brazil's
greatest artists and musics. On numerous occasions,
Gachot has unsuccessfully tried to gain a first-hand
account of João Gilberto's life and work. In a
way, Marc Fischer's story is his own. This similarity
in (temporary) adversity is at once an asset and our
inspiration. As in Hobalala, our narrative is shaped
by the twists and turns of the very pursuit: the Bossa
Nova is our plot and João Gilberto our
hitchcockian Mac Guffin. But who can say that we will
not encounter João Gilberto?

Das Projekt ist eine
filmische Nacherzählung des Buches Hobalala von
Marc Fischer, einem deutschen Schriftsteller. In Hobalala
erzählt Fischer von seiner obsessiven Suche nach der
brasilianischen Musiklegende João Gilberto, dem
Begründer der Bossa Nova, der sich seit vielen
Jahren nicht mehr in der Öffentlichkeit zeigt. Eine
Woche vor dem Erscheinen seines Buches, beging Marc
Fischer Selbstmord. Der Film macht sich nun seinerseits
auf die Suche nach João Gilberto - auf den Spuren
dieses Marc Fischers - und führt sie weiter, in die
Essenz der Bossa-Nova und vielleicht bis João
Gilberto.

Le film est
adapté du livre Hobalala de Marc Fischer, un
écrivain allemand. Dans Hobalala Marc Fischer
raconte sa recherche obsessionnelle de la dernière
grande légende de la musique brésilienne,
João Gilberto, le père fondateur de la
Bossa Nova. Le livre a été publié en
Allemagne en 2011, Marc Fischer s'est suicidé une
semaine avant la publication de son livre. En reprenant
la quête de Marc Fischer, en suivant ses pas un par
un, grâce à tous les indices qu'il nous a
laissés, nous poursuivons João Gilberto
pour comprendre l'histoire, l'âme et l'essence
même de la Bossa Nova.
