Trivia
Maria de Medeiros's debut at 15 years old. At the time Monteiro chose her, she didn't even think about acting. "My vocation, from a young age, was drawing, and I was convinced that I would do Fine Arts. But Monteiro arrived, who was a madman, or rather a mad genius. She had started shooting 'Silvestre', and when she was halfway through the film she decided to burn it and start again, from the beginning, with me, who was the daughter of a friend of his. That was the beginning of my career, a bit of a coincidence. I was a little girl."

Aria of the Bluebeard

A feminist medieval fable, built from the fusion of two folklore tales.

JCM changes the open vistas and natural grandeur from his last film, "Veredas", to the very self-conscious artificiality of studio scenarios. Somehow, this self-consciousness, allied to the flowery, lyrical dialogues and the ponderous pace of "Silvestre", convey perfectly the sense that we are being told a tale from another age.

The only down point in "Silvestre" is the heavy use of coloured filters in the rare outdoors scenes.
