About This Movie

Herbert de Perto is a deep dive into the life of Herbert Vianna, the lead of Paralamas do Sucesso.

The pacing has a reflective quality, allowing you to soak in the emotional weight of his story. The practical effects are minimal, letting his narrative and music take center stage. There's a certain intimacy in how it unfolds, as Herbert shares his struggle and triumph, which gives it a distinctive tone that’s both hopeful and melancholic.
