Loki: Arnaldo Baptista

About This Movie

So, Loki: Arnaldo Baptista is this really raw documentary that dives deep into the life of Arnaldo Baptista, the mastermind behind the legendary band Os Mutantes. It explores his rise, his turbulent relationship with Rita Lee, and the dark times that followed his band's breakup. The pacing is kind of reflective, taking its time to let you soak in the emotional weight of his experiences—his depression, struggles, and that infamous suicide attempt. The music is, of course, a standout, weaving in and out of his life story. You feel the atmosphere shift as he grapples with fame and personal demons. It’s quite different from typical rock docs, more introspective and haunting, really.
