Sounds 'corny,' maybe.
Once in the club, Bernstein plays with the audio for effect, muting out all sounds but the throbbing beat of the dance music: no talking, no laughing, no glasses clinking. Much like the addict needs more and more of the drug to combat the emptiness, she embarks on a crusade to seek fulfillment by finding facts to support what she thinks she has seen.
A Quiet, Engaging Story pdx 15 February Regina, played by Fernanda Montenegro, is an older woman with firm opinions about people and life. One day she sees a man kill his wife.
The quiet story that follows is engaging, surprising, and full of insights into the life of the elderly. In fact, Bernstein doesn't even give us close shots of her face for several minutes into the film, and it made me think perhaps he was womann highlighting the anonymous voyeuristic aspect of the elderly.
That history together allowed a relatively young writer in his early thirties he's 37 now to grasp the intricacies and nuances of the elderly characters he writes about so well. She rarely smiles. So say one of Emily Dickinson's 'trimeter' epigrams: "The heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care -" Bernstein's story is sensitive, tender, witty, very much captures the predicaments of the two woamn characters.
She is remembered as Rua Kenana's favourite wife. Alcides has put up with her nosy informing because she has produced before, but this is too much.
The work gives Regina gives purpose maturw meaning to any otherwise empty life. She is estranged from her son since he has taken in her former husband, who we never see a great mechanism to keep the viewer entirely on her sideand her only contact with her family is through her grandson, too young to challenge the dynamic.
She calls the police, who come and go from Camargo's apartment. As the viewer I am immediately reminded of Hitchcock's "Rear Window".
The cynical voyeur sees murder! Much more can be inferred about the non-age-appropriate activities in which he has his character Regina engage. When the police refuse to act, Regina decides to investigate on her own. Love makes you feel brand new.
Before long she witnesses Camargo, played subtly and expertly by veteran Brazilian actor Raul Cortez, give a woman an injection that kills her. He matue small and safe, another pet to talk at not withand really rounds-out the image Bernstein is aiming for: isolated and ultimately cynical. I noticed cable Sundance Channel has aired this Brazilian gem several times already. And the music by Guilherme Bernstein Seixas accompanied the scenes well, as if the rhythm and musical notes understood the situation of these two: Regina and Camargo, the retired judge across the street, played wonderfully by Raul Cortez.
Her cynical view of the world will certainly produce some nefarious possibilities, no? And, this is not exactly a thriller, it's very much a human story: of two lonely people who needed to open up, reach out to touch someone and be touched. Retired, estranged from family, and living with a maure dog, she spends her days and nights as a police volunteer reporting criminal activity near her home, a large apartment tower across from Copacabana beach. Check it out and quietly enjoy.
Much of her success is likely due to the fact that in a neighborhood crowded with young, beautiful people, an wman woman is practically invisible. The other woman is wearing a checked shirt with central ruffle, and a pounamu nephrite bar brooch with a metal fern motif in the centre. After all, she is a woman who trades upon this character flaw.
By circumstance or by fate, the human spirit at heart, quietly beckons to be rekindled. She says to Alcides at one point that she is even willing "to beat down drug dealers with her purse".
Camargo was a powerful judge anyway before he retired, almost as an untouchable. She has a moko kauae chin tattoo.
Fernanda Montenegro was over 70 when this film was shot, so perhaps it is just that age disparity that makes the film so good. Bernstein and his cinematographer develop Regina's loneliness and isolation through the early scenes in her apartment with stark lighting, mmature flower vases, reflection shots, and one could even argue he was using blue gels to give the scenes an even moodier cast.
One could argue that Bernstein allegorically selected the name "Snow White" to represent Regina as the sleeping princess waiting for her Prince Charming to awaken her to the Ulverston nude man of happiness, to become the queen she truly is. What is she looking for? She also wears two kapeu nephrite pendant earrings. Youthfulness is how comfortable you feel about yourself - let go of burdens and welcome - let love walk in.
Purchased Overview Half-length portrait of two Maori women, seated next to each other, both facing the camera. Snow White goes into high gear, as this event feeds her beliefs about the world. She is truly alone, just an womqn, never participating. They have their hair tied back in buns.
