In this edition of Maratonar, Folha's newsletter that guides readers through streaming options, a curated list highlights films where musicians have ventured into acting. Inspired by a comment by writer Emily St. James on the contrasting public perception of musicians acting versus actors attempting music, this article avoids featuring artists who have notably crossed over into both fields with equal success. Instead, it focuses on musicians who have stepped into the acting realm, prompting viewers to reconsider their assumptions about these dual talents.

The newsletter’s goal is to help subscribers navigate the vast streaming landscape while sharpening their appreciation of both music and film. The selection aims to give readers fresh viewing recommendations while sparking discussions about the roles musicians can take on in cinema and how these roles might differ from their primary musical careers.

Through careful selection, the article encourages audiences to explore these unexpected performances, pushing the boundaries of how artists can present their talents beyond their primary fields. As the streaming world continues to grow with diverse content, this spotlight on musician-actors serves as a reminder that talent can often transcend traditional categorizations.
