Clarice Lispector’s acclaimed text The Passion According to G.H.. gets a film version, directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho
The encounter between an inspiring blank canvas, a powerful book in the variety of reentrant words, and even the impactful plasticity of an inspiring actress muse: Maria Fernanda Cândido — all this moved director Luiz Fernando Carvalho in the adaptation for the big screen of one of Clarice Lispector’s classics: The Passion According to G.H. “I don’t start from any cinematographic presupposition; I start from a previous ritual that is simply the presence of a blank canvas”, says the director, in an interview with Correio. “Look, it was a difficult joy, as Clarice would say, but it’s called joy and I feel very fortunate to have been chosen by the director for this fascinating process,” observes actress Maria Fernanda Cândido.
