Overwhelming! I could not stop think about what I had seen in those delicate, deep images for a long time past I saw the movie. The commitment of director Luiz Fernando Carvalho in putting together all the emotions, conflicts, expectations of those characters is so moving that it is impossible not to embark on that journey, to follow his eyes throughout those bodies, that landscape. The light is so poetic, the frames seem literally like paintings in motion. The way the director captured in images the poetry of the novel makes him one of the most talented filmmakers ever. Luiz Fernando Carvalho is, surely, a gifted sorcerer of this special art.
