Zé Pedro, the legendary guitar player of Xutos e Pontapés, is the greatest name in Portuguese rock ‘n’ roll. He was its main driving force, not only as the founding guitar player of the greatest Portuguese band ever, but also by promoting the genre as a music critic, radio broadcaster and owner of Johnny Guitar, a mythic club and concert hall in Lisbon where so many bands took their first steps.

Most filmmakers like to say that to achieve a real biographic film is impossible. Well, if this documentary didn't achieve it, then it was real close to it. It was an earnest portrayal of a great rock 'n' roll star who touched the hearts and souls of his fans. Incredible all the way with the right people being interviewed. Never felt fake and it was like Zé Pedro was still alive for a moment. A great cinematic farewell to a great soul.
