THE FRENCH TEACHER

A PROFESSORA DE FRANCÊS

By Ricardo ALVES JR.

LES CINEMAS DU MONDE - LA FABRIQUE CINEMA DE L’INSTITUT FRANÇAIS - as PROMO

Second film - Development 2019

With this film, combining the genre film and social realism, I propose a study of character that plunges into a narrative that confuses the real with the imaginary, in a dense dreamlike suspense that creates a metaphor on the rise of terror within the "traditional Brazilian family".

- Synopsis
- Graça gives private lessons of French in order to support herself in a big Brazilian metropolis. As an independent black woman of middle-low class, Graça sees herself confronted by the obscure aspect of religious fanaticism, when obliged to live with an extremist evangelical family that gradually entangles the teacher in a mysterious way towards the loss of reason.
