The film that launched bossa nova around the world is coming to Blu-Ray, thanks to Criterion. Extras to include an interview with the director, the American star Marpessa Dawn, and contemporary author Ruy Castro -- who, I imagine, will describe how Vinicius de Moraes (author of the groundbreaking play on which the film was based) walked out of the premiere in Brazil.

- A fairly extreme Brazil nut, I split his time between California, Massachusetts, and my favorite places in Brazil: little islands along the Bahian coast, Carioca live music dives, and the next great place I discover.
