“Bonequinho” gives a standing ovation to Luiz Fernando Carvalho’s adaptation of Clarice Lispector’s book.
If the viewer loses his ground, his breath, his plumb line during “The Passion According to G.H.”, he can relax. It is on the right path traced by the inspiring work of Clarice Lispector, which was written 60 years ago. Even so, it is worth counting on polarized reactions. GH’s subjects, without a lifeliner, will have to embark on an almost hallucinogenic verbal, visual and sound trip, while unsuspecting heretics will drift, eventually bewitched — by the beauty of the text, the multifaceted structure of the narrative and the magnetism of Maria Fernanda Cândido’s delivery.
