In an interview with GLOBO, the actress tells about her work on the adaptation of Clarice Lispector’s classic considered ‘unfilmable’, in addition to the fear of cockroaches.
Understanding Clarice Lispector, according to her own statement, “is not a matter of intelligence, but of feeling”. She was talking about a Portuguese teacher at Colégio Pedro II who came to her to tell her that he had read “The Passion According to G.H.” four times and continued without knowing what the book was about. “The next day, a 17-year-old university student said that this is her bedside book. I can’t understand it. Either it plays, or it doesn’t”, added the writer in a famous interview given to TV Cultura, in 1977, a few months before she died.
