Facing the moment we are living in Brazil, in what way
do you think Clarice dialogues with society?
I don't see only Clarice dialoguing with today's
society, but the whole film and the characters of
the film. It is a NECESSARY movie for today and
this reason is so " hard to swallow "; as our director,
Borelli says, "a punch in the stomach".
The film contains many layers to be analyzed. Sexism,
racism, misogyny, and homophobia. How has the film
been received?
A difficult film to watch and to swallow, but a
necessary one; the reactions are diverse, and echo
through the movie theaters; it is very interesting to
see the reactions. Lol ... unexpected!
I see the film's objective is fulfilled, and that is the
greatest pleasure.
What was Clarice's contribution to your way of seeing
life?
Wow, several, hard to name a single one...
Every character deconstructs me completely; this
is the beauty and the greatest learning of our craft.
Always after work, a "New Priscilla" is reborn, a
new artist, and after Coisa Pública I can say that I
was reborn A STRONGER AND POWERFUL
WOMAN to battle in our current country.
The hatred of one of the characters stems from his nonacceptance.
Do you think this is one of the embryos of
intolerance?
Absolutely.
I believe in the power of UNIVERSAL LOVE.
Only Love heals.
