Capitu e o Capítulo

Rosana Botafogo

Reproduzo aqui as brilhantes palavras de Lou Cardoso que exprime minha opinião em sua totalidade “Particularmente, Capitu e o Capítulo não é para mim. Meu gosto pessoal não embarcou nessa jornada um tanto pretensiosa em percorrer a insegurança masculina descontada em uma mulher que, definitivamente, era areia demais para o caminhãozinho de Casmurro. No entanto, é preciso exaltar a belíssima produção de design, figurinos e fotografia do longa que pinta todo um imaginário contemporâneo da ficção." I reproduce here Lou Cardoso's brilliant words, which express my opinion in its entirety: "Personally, Capitu and the Chapter is not for me. My personal taste did not embark on this somewhat pretentious journey of exploring male insecurity vented on a woman who was definitely too much for Casmurro's little truck. However, it is necessary to praise the beautiful production design, costumes, and cinematography of the film, which paints a complete contemporary fictional imaginary." "If you had to choose between me and your mother, who would it be?" Capitu asks her troubled lover provocatively. Elsewhere, they dance to inaudible music with their friends, each couple keeping their own rhythm. At times, this representation of the memories we see Dom Casmurro writing on paper with an extravagant pen seems to be an interplay of conflicting emotions—especially when jealousy rears its head.
