The Girl From Ipanema: Astrud Gilberto, Queen of Bossa Nova

80%(1)IMDbDocumentaryMusic

The Girl from Ipanema charts the progress of bossa nova (new wave), and the Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto's musical development and rise to fame. Best of all, at the end of the documentary the mature Astrud answers the question that must surely be on every viewer's mind: Was she sick to death of singing The Girl from Ipanema?
