Why does "A Serpente" always have bizarre adaptations to cinema?

The dialogues presented in theatre-style overacting and the cold black and white cinematography lead to a weird outcome which makes spectator keep a distance, lacking interest for what is happening, even though far from ordinary situations take place (including Naechtergaele sucking Lucélia Santos's breast). The strange script makes the simple story become more complicated and confusing than what would be resonable too. It seems that the last play by Nelson Rodrigues is the most unfortunate in adaptations to cinema despite having good casting, as 1992 film was also horrible, despite having actors such as Marco Nanini and Zezé Motta. Bizarre and boring film, perhaps even worse than that one from the 90s.
