A friend just recommended this to me, too:

A cool, complex look at the work of Tom Ze -- one that sometimes uses painting and scratches on the film, to create a visual sense of play that's almost as entertaining as Tom's music! The DVD mixes together concert material and a bit of documentary footage -- and titles include "O Pib Da Pib", "Ave Dor Maria", "Mulher Navio Negreiro", "Pagode Enredo Dos Tempos Do Medo", and "Poposta De Amor". In Portuguese, with English and French subtitles -- approx 47 minutes. (DVD is NTSC coded, All Region.)
And, then I found this at the same website:

Brilliant work from the legendary Tom Ze -- every bit as creative and complex as his groundbreaking albums from the 70s! The English title of this one would be "The Lollipop Of Science" -- a bit of poetry that perfectly sums up the album's appeal -- kind of quirky, experimentally rhythmic music -- topped with Ze's oddly sweet lyrics -- not sweet in subject, but in the way he presents them with such earnestness -- allowing for lots of elliptical wordplay that makes the vocals almost as rhythmic as the instrumentation! Recording quality is quite good -- more than enough to capture the more intimate side of Tom's charms -- and titles include "Nave Maria", "Companheiro Bush", "Hein", "To", "Ogodo Ano 2000", "Roquenrol Bim Bom", "Todos Os Olhos", and "Cultura De Irara". DVD features 8 more tracks than the CD -- with subtitles in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. (DVD is All Region.)
Damn.
May have to check these out, as well.
And then, there's this Caetano Veloso doc.:
