GOOD MANNERS Q&A - BFI London Film Festival 2017
The BFI's Clare Stewart was joined by directors Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra to discuss the making of their film Good Manners.
If you like surprises, then look no further - this mind-bendingly subversive, grown-up fairy tale is about as unclassifiable as it gets. Clara is a care worker living on the outskirts of São Paulo. Struggling to make ends meet, she accepts the position of live-in nanny to the as-yet unborn child of a wealthy single woman named Ana. The two women immediately develop a strong bond, but Ana's increasingly strange behaviour hints at a deep, dark secret. Then, one night, the shocking truth emerges. What starts as an eccentrically styled slice of social realism, morphs into something else entirely, without ever compromising the emotional integrity of its characters, nor stretching narrative credibility, no matter how weird things get.
