And Have to Have Why?

About This Movie

And Have to Have Why? is this intriguing blend of documentary and drama that takes you right into the heart of 1960s Curitiba. The atmosphere is thick with the tension of a society grappling with its own conservatism while a young Paulo Leminski emerges, a poet with this wild, spontaneous flair. You really feel the pulse of the counter-culture movement as it unfolds, and the pacing gives it a sort of dreamlike quality—like you’re wandering through his thoughts. The practical effects are minimal but effective, letting the essence of Leminski's words and performances shine through. It’s not flashy or overly polished, but there’s this raw authenticity that resonates. A fascinating portrait of a man who danced to his own rhythm amidst the constraints of his time.
