Uma Representação de Viés Bastante Teatral

Da Obra de Machado de Assis, tanto a caráter de figurinações e ambientações, percebemos uma carga de cores quentes em tudo aquilo que remete aprontes de última hora para ornar o que pareceria ao longo da produção um ambiente circense de brincadeira de criança, embora com o ar vitoriano de 1860.

Kinda Literary Massacre

¨Based¨ (in the worst possible sense) on the classic novel Dom Casmurro, ¨Capitu¨ is a pseudo-theatricalization of the book, introducing an invented mental insanity into the protagonist Bentinho, and reversing the latter's love for his beloved wife Maria Capitolina into a kind of hate relationship. The ¨director¨ Carvalho (who BTW was never related to the renowned philosopher Olavo de Carvalho) is a specialist in pseudo-genialities. He also perpetrated ¨Hoje É Dia de Maria,¨ ¨Lavoura Arcaica¨. Capitu had been filmed before by Paulo Sarraceni (with his wife Isabela in the title role) yet with mediocre results as well.
