Claudia Ohana in Vamp (1991)

Review by filipemanuelneto

Vamp

8/10

A soap opera full of humor

For those who enjoy a soap opera, Brazil is fertile ground, as the overwhelming majority of general TV channels in the country transmit, on average, four soap operas daily. Invariably, much of this material eventually goes around the world, being bought and broadcast in other countries. One of the most permeable markets for Brazilian teledramaturgy is, of course, my country, due to its cultural and linguistic proximity. I watched "Vamp" at the premiere in Portugal in the year 1993, having been the first soap opera I watched given that I was about four years old. I came back to watch it about ten years ago, when the soap opera was reprised.

The plot has a comic background and is based on the vampire occupation of the fictional city of Armação dos Anjos, on the seashore. It is a small and quiet place where the retired sailor Capitão Rocha lives with his children, managing an inn. But it is to this secluded and quiet place that retires the rock singer Natasha, world-famous but with reputation of being vampire. In fact, fame corresponds to reality. She is a vampire who lives by fleeing her creator, the terrible vampire Vlad, who wants to join her at all costs because the singer is actually the reincarnation of his great love, who preferred another man whose reincarnation is Capitão Rocha.

This soap opera is a mix of humor and drama that I loved seeing and reviewing. Ney Latorraca is an excellent vampire villain, giving an almost eternal life to his character, and Cláudia Ohana was great in the role of the rock singer. Reginaldo Faria did very well in his character, but the romantic chemistry between him and Ohana did not work well because he seems constantly too old to make romantic pair with the actress. I also liked the performances of Joana Fomm, Nuno Leal Maia (although his character is the most unlikely of the plot), Fábio Assunção (still young, but already promising), Otávio Augusto and Marcos Frota.
