It is a feature film signed by Jose Fonseca e Costa on the life of a woman widowed more often than it should.
The film "a wealthy widow doesn’t stay single” tells the story of Dona Ana Catarina returning from Brazil accompanied by her father, marries a man who she doesn’t knows and ends shortly thereafter been a widowed twice, as almost simultaneously her husband and father dies. This unfortunate coincidence makes her a rich woman who is uncompromising and a natural target of male lust. The premise of this plot is a comedy due to the originality of the script. It is above all a film that entertains with great style. The performance of Brazilian actress, Bianca Byington, the protagonist, creates that feeling of weightlessness to the characther that goes throughout the movie widowed many times. An evil creature with an angel's face. The secondary characters played by the magnificent and José Raposo and Cucha Carvalheiro respectively Father Palacios and Mariana make up a trio that are no saints either. The cinema of José Fonseca e Costa, who directed and wrote the screenplay of this film is always an event, because the almost theatrical skill he prints on the movie. It is a new kind of cinema by the positioning of the actors in front of the cameras and the planes that merges to create the impression of movement. Being a filmmaker almost cursed in our country, much derived of his critical views on the cinema that is made in Portugal and in particular the institutions that supposedly support the seventh art, José Fonseca e Costa has shoot very little, according to his statements made in a tribute held in Fantasporto, "I film only what that let me shoot," which in my opinion is a shame. This movie may not be its greatest masterpiece, this is for a next time, but it is undoubtedly one of the most fun. Good movie!
