Cast: Tereza Raquel, Cláudio Corrêa e Castro, Stepan Nercessian

This x-ray of the typical Brazilian middle-class family of the 70's is not devoid of intelligence, though it is rather unpolished, technically speaking and, to be frank, in the screenplay area as well. What I found most interesting was the ending, which torpedoes all the potential elements of tragedy which had been evoked. It's a quite different approach from the one taken in Fatal Attraction, whose basic idea this film anticipates. Teresa Rachel received many praises for this performance, and she is indeed fine. Stepan Nercessian is fine most of the time, as is Claudio Correa e Castro. This is the only film I have seen directed by Denoy de Oliveira, and I am certainly curious to see the remainder of his oeuvre.

Portuguese-language cinema, spanning Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone regions, focuses on history, cultural identity, and the struggles of ordinary people, often framed with poetic or allegorical storytelling. In Portugal, cinema has emphasized meditative pacing and philosophical depth, reflecting on memory and tradition. In Brazil, it has often been politically charged and socially vibrant, highlighting inequality and resilience while experimenting with popular and avant-garde forms.
