Reviews for The Art of Amália
A watchable, spurring documentary. It could have been so much more in the process, though.
It is more than gratifying to be introduced to a truly legendary, yet somewhat unknown, cultural figure of the past century.
A documentary about the Portuguese singer, known for her vocal interpretations of fado, that vividly demonstrates the universality of music from the heart.
