Paulo Leminski

Paulo Leminski - Coração de poeta

Life and Blood of a Polak

Fancy Pea is a Brazilian documentary produced, written and directed by Werner Schumann, in the year 1985, reporting facts about the life and work of the Brazilian writer, poet, translator and professor Paulo Leminski. The program was shown on TV in 1985 and 1989 (at the time of the death of the writer).

Through performatic acts and some exposition, a group of poets of that 1980's generation make great use of words, poems and rebellious acts criticizing the then current generation and its lack of admiration for the poetic works that were being created.
