Film adapts with class the power of language in Lispector’s novel
It is not necessary to develop much to say that Clarice Lispector’s writing is one of the most striking in Brazilian literature. The work of the writer from Pernambuco is one of the densest in contemporary national production, so subjective that it sometimes bumps into the misunderstood. The torrent of thoughts that Clarice writes – especially in The Passion According to G.H. – makes the adaptation a challenge, although the homonymous feature film shows that it is not impossible.
