10/02/2011 Melhor filme de Daniel Filho. Deliciosa comédia de humor negro com tintas Rodrigueanas, onde todo o elenco feminino está ótimo! See more 07/05/2010 very strange ending on how the nanny is dealt with and how a breakdown insues doesn't fit well with the intial story. kinda spoiled it See more 11/14/2008 Some differences the movie has from the book: It's not in Portugal, it's in São Paulo. Basílio comes from France, not Brazil. A great book of Eça de Queirós is transformed in a brazilian soap opera à la "globo". Disgusting. See more 08/30/2008 The book, needless to say, offers a deeper insight into the characters, the movie doesn't explain much of Luisa's background - which just made her look "too easy" from the start. The problem I saw in this film was the fact the director is used to a TV language and wasted a great opportunity to make a tasteful film. The actors were good, sex scenes were great, definitely worth watching, but overall the movie lacks passion and a better development. Gloria Pires (the governess) was one of the highlights, Debora Falabella (Luisa) also performed well despite her character being chopped and made plainly stupid. Not a complete waste of time, but also very forgettable. See more 06/09/2008 Fabio Assunçãaaao! See more 04/11/2008 what's wrong with some men... sad ending though the husband forgave her.
