The lack of naturalist of the acting in this movie is surprising. Although all dialogues take place in Brazilians Portuguese, there are a few ridiculous attempts of intruding a few key french words (like Monsieur, Mademoiselle etc) that end up a disaster. Honestly, it is embarrassing.
How can a director allow actors to keep their regional accents (different ways of Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation) when playing characters from the 19th century?
Photography is a joke... many angles in key scenes seem to be chosen randomly. Soundtrack is predictable and boring, excessively dramatic at the climax.
The storyline, however, is good. It is a shame such an interesting script ends up so poorly executed.
