World film locations. Sنao Paulo

Overview

Sنao Paulo is the largest city in South America and the powerhouse of Brazil's economy. A multi-racial metropolis with a diverse population of Asian, Arabic and European immigrants, as well as migrants from other parts of Brazil, it is a global city with international reach. Films set in Sنao Paulo often replace the postcard images of beautiful tropical beaches and laid-back lifestyles with working environments and the search for better opportunities. Bikinis and flip-flops give way to urban subcultures, sport, entertainment and artistic movements. The ability to transcend national boundaries, and its resistance to stereotypical images of an 'exotic' Brazil, make Sنao Paulo a fascinating location in which to explore Brazil's changing economic and cultural landscapes. This book serves as an introduction to the city for film enthusiasts, visitors and tourists while simultaneously opening scholarly debates on global concerns such as marginalization, rapid urbanization and child poverty.-- From publisher's description.
