“The Passion According to G.H.”, timidly premiered in theaters at the hands of Nitrato Filmes, but you can’t miss it because it is one of the best Brazilian films of recent years, which combines cinema, in particular by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, with one of the greatest names in Brazilian literature of the twentieth century: Clarice Lispector.
“The Passion According to G.H.”, by Luiz Fernando Carvalho is a film based on the book of the same name by Clarice Lispector, which is already a very complex work and has been little considered to make a possible adaptation to the cinema. In fact, Luiz Fernando Carvalho — following in a way the precepts and lyricism of his previous film “Lavoura Arcaica” (2001), based on the work of Raduan Nassar — carries out an almost impossible mission, providing us with an impeccable technical virtuosity and an almost visceral sensation, a hallucinating journey through image, sound and above all the powerful words of Clarice Lispector.
