What is left when we leave all the masks? The essence. It is precisely the human essence and its own deconstruction that Maria Fernanda Cândido seeks in “The Passion According to G.H.”, a new film by Luiz Fernando Carvalho that arrives in Brazilian cinemas after a long period of gestation.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Clarice Lispector and was faithfully transposed to the cinema, with Clarice’s writing as the primary script. Each letter, each word that Maria Fernanda says comes from the writing and the inner universe created by the author for her character.
