    Hour of the Star Full Description

    Filled with moments of uncanny humor and painful intuition (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker), Hour of the Star (1985) is, much like Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark, a rare combination of neorealism and lyrical fantasy. Also centered on a naive immigrant woman, this striking adaptation of the canonical novel by Clarice Lispector tracks the tragicomic ordeals of Macabea (Marcelia Cartaxo) during her first days in the megalopolis of Sao Paulo -- after emigrating from the impoverished north of Brazil. Played with extraordinary unselfconsciousness by Marcelia Cartaxo, (Janet Maslin, The New York Times), Macabea is the poster girl of social naivete she works inefficiently and, by common standards, is unattractive and unqualified. Interning as a typist next to the savvy city-girl Gloria (Tamara Taxman), Macabea naively fantasizes about marriage with the uncaring Olimpico (Jose Dumont), a steel worker and fellow immigrant, while struggling to learn the social norms that could secure her dream life.Macabea's fate turns even darker when her co-worker Gloria hires the fortune teller Madame Carlota (Academy Award nominee Fernanda Montenegro). After listening to the Gods, Gloria discovers that she must steal a friend's boyfriend and pass her bad karma to another woman.One of the most celebrated literary adaptations in the history of Brazilian cinema, Suzana Amaral's Hour of the Star won 12 awards at the Brasilia Film Festival and a Best Actress award at the 1985 Berlin Film Festival. Its mixture of observation and poetry still holds true as one of the most profound testaments of our time. (Andrew Sarris, The Village Voice). Free Shipping.
