The "daddy's boy" Cazuza was an icon of the Brazilian Popular Song in the 80's with his wonderful lyrics and songs. However, the poet and singer Cazuza does not deserve his shallow biography presented in this movie, actually an apology to drugs and homosexuality. Cazuza is shown as a dysfunctional, drug and booze addicted, homosexual that disrespects basic social rules and terrible and irresponsible son and man. His career is built by chance because he is useless as a man, needs to work and his father and president of phonographic industry Som Livre, João Araújo, gives a job opportunity in his company as a simple employee. His talent is found by his chief Zeca, who convinces João Araújo to release his album. The best moments in this film are the songs, therefore better of listening to the CDs or watching his live concerts released on VHS or DVD. The unknown Daniel de Oliveira has a great performance and his make-up when Cazuza is sick with Aids is very realistic and impressive. I confess that I was completely disappointed with the screenplay of this film. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Cazuza: O Tempo Não Para" ("Cazuza: The Time Does not Stop")

• In an early concert scene, we see Cazuza's manager, Zeca (Ezequiel Neves), going crazy in the crowd. The real Zeca, middle-aged, is standing next to him, wearing glasses.
• During Cazuza's last concert, the real Lucinha Ara?jo, Cazuza's mother, briefly appears. She is wearing a blue shirt and glasses.
