I won't say she is here at her sexiest--Sonia Braga is sexy any time she's on screen--but this is one of her best movies, helped much by the other players, among them, curiously, Marcello Mastrioanni as the Syrian immigrant who hires Gabriela as cook and quickly finds himself in a deeper relationship.

The medieval romance of chivalry gave place to the pastoral novel, the first example of which is the Saudades of Bernardim Ribeiro, followed by the Diana of Jorge de Montemôr, which had a numerous progeny.
The discourses and devotional treatises of the Oratorian Manuel Bernardes, who was a recluse, have a calm and sweetness that we miss in the writings of a man of action like Vieira and, while equally rich, are purer models of classic Portuguese prose.
Of these the most important was the Arcadia Ulisiponense established in 1756 by the poet Cruz e Silva — "to form a school of good example in eloquence and poetry" — and it included the most considered writers of the time.

It also includes "Saveiros" (winner of the I FIC, 1966), "Tati, a Garota" (theme from the homonymous film by Bruno Barreto), and "Desenredo." The second album has a clearer sonority, but the songs, however beautiful, are less representative in terms of repercussion.
