Luis Fernado De Carvalho: Seriado Capitu -

The Mirror (Tarkovsky), The Singing Detective , Dogville , or theatrical adaptations by Peter Brook.

Here’s a useful review of the Brazilian series (directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, aired by TV Globo in 2008), focusing on its unique adaptation of Machado de Assis’s classic Dom Casmurro . Review: Capitu (2008) – A Daring, Dreamlike Reinvention Luiz Fernando Carvalho’s Capitu is not a faithful period drama of Machado de Assis’s novel. Instead, it’s a radical, sensorial, and deeply psychological reinterpretation. If you expect a linear, book-accurate retelling, you might be disoriented. But if you appreciate bold visual poetry and subjective storytelling, this is a masterpiece. Seriado Capitu - Luis Fernado de Carvalho
