Esse Mundo é Meu with That Man of Mine
Esse Mundo é Meu
Esse Mundo é Meu finds poetry in the everyday through multilayered imagery of two parallel romantic stories and the distinctive sounds of director Sérgio Ricardo’s music. A Black laborer, Toshino, hopes to save up enough money to win the woman he loves after a family misfortune leaves him penniless. The film celebrates love and all it can offer.
That Man of Mine
Featuring the swinging sounds of the all-woman band The International Sweethearts of Rhythm and a young Ruby Dee, the 1946 musical showcases tenderness in romance and community through a series of musical numbers. The loosely connected plot follows film producers hoping to cast a stand-out actress for their next film.
