The Invention of Brasilia (2001)
Overview
A modernist capital, from the geological formation of the Central Plateau to the present day, passing through the saga of its construction. Brasília is the result of a genius generation that wished to recreate Brazil, then still archaic, slave and colonial, in a modern, authentic and utopian Brazil.
