Wonderful comedy with sexy Braga, Wilker

I rate Bruno Barreto one of the best Brazilian directors ever, and certainly DONA FLOR AND HER TWO HUSBANDS emerged as a noteworthy early success in his career.To that end he is masterfully helped by the deceptively simple cinematography of Murillo Salles, the musical score by Chico Buarque da Holanda, and the script off writer Jorge Amado's famous novel.Set in 1943 Salvador da Bahia city, DONA FLOR is imbued with the colors and fragrances of that coastal town, and Barreto keeps the action tight, with touches of human kindness and understanding while others continue backstabbing and decrying everything.Clever ending. 8/10.

Sexy

When I first saw it, it was one of the most sexiest movies I had ever seen. Sonia Braga back in the late seventies was a beautiful woman and now as a 57 year old she still has that look. After seeing the movie I wanted to see more of Brazil, so much I went to Rio. I was not disappointed. From very rich ex-patriot Germans to super poor mixed race Brazilians, it was an eye opener. Brazilian women were so sexy in dress and manner but don't let the eye candy fool you. There character was top rate. As one Brazilian woman put it, "We dress like this because we celebrate life and sex, but to get these pants off a wedding ring is the key."
