Maria Fernanda Cândido is a film power that takes on calculated myopia.
With the passing of the decades and the expansion of the popular cult of her work (or at least the work attributed to her on social networks), Clarice Lispector has become a kind of “elemental woman” of Brazilian culture. Not that her difficult and internalized narratives fit comfortably into this position – and where did Clarice fit comfortably, in her entire life and legacy? One has to question, as it does, how much the experience of the white daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, who spent most of her life in comfortable economic conditions, represents the femininity of a country permeated by inequalities and diversities that are so deeply defining of our identity.
