Jules and Jim (1962)
Sofia is a progressive and independent girl who dreads the word marriage. The only romance in her life was Jane Austen’s. Until she is mysteriously transported to the 19th century. Diego Montez’s first film.
Coup de théâtre: a pleasant film, full of humor, and a film where you feel good
I was very surprised by this, in a good way, because most fantasy and “what if” stories have already been told and are usually a tired thing, except for newcomers, but “Perdida” (“Lost”). ) had some good things to share, a somewhat fresh approach and a novel presentation of some things, despite the fact that most of us are familiar with both romance novels and fantasy themes. It is based on a bestselling novel (which I have not read), so what attracted me were the fantasy themes and some of the names of the characters. It follows Sofia (Giovanna Grigio), a modern-day independent woman and a big fan of Jane Austen novels, who wants her love life to be like that of a noble and gentle Mr.
The rest is up to you to fill in the gaps, such as how the confusion grows between creatures from different eras, different mannerisms and social costumes, and whether love will ever happen
Darcy. But in an age of dating and broken romances, the dream is only real in books – or so she thinks, until she’s transported to the 19th century, to a place that looks like a mix of Brazil and England, and where racial diversity is completely accepted (I loved it, but many people get confused), and it’s here that she stumbles upon the young, handsome and respectable Ian Clarke (Bruno Montaleone). The production values were incredible, from the costumes and art direction to the locations (I don’t know where they filmed those beautiful landscapes where Sofia and Ian ride horses), it was all presented very well. And if we say that “Perdida” has some urgency or at least an audience, it’s those who feel exactly like Sofia, living and facing an incredible technological age, and are able to believe in love and marriage.
outside of a simple social contract; but the time we live in is lacking in human connection, real love (as if Austen’s era was completely perfect)
So the film makes an interesting comparison between time periods, the romance of classic novels compared to modern times, and how the two relate to each other… if ever. There is a lot of humor with these questions, the couple is very charming, as are the secondary characters – Ian’s sister (Nathália Falcão) was my favorite, who was enchanted by the sunglasses and always helped Sofia. However, “Perdida” as a story that hits on the clichés of fantasy, literature and real life, almost lost them for a long time, but it is one of those things that always attracts an audience who likes these themes, but which repels those who are tired of repetition.
Live and learn
It didn’t bother me much and managed to surprise a few things, and the conclusion seemed quite correct to me considering everything that was said. Fiction as fiction, but sometimes there are touches that reach reality. 7/10.
