Clara, uma viúva de 65 anos, crítica de música reformada, nasceu numa família rica e tradicional no Recife, Brasil. Ela é a última residente do Aquarius, um edifício construído nos anos 40, na zona cara junto ao mar da Avenida Boa Viagem, Recife. Todos os apartamentos vizinhos já foram adquiridos pela empresa que apresentou projectos para construir um novo empreendimento. Clara jura que só sairá dali morta e entra numa guerra fria com a empresa, num confronto obscuro, assustador e emocionalmente desgastante. Esta tensão não só perturba Clara como torna as suas rotinas exasperantes, levando-a a reflectir sobre si e aqueles que ama, o seu passado e o seu futuro. (Midas Filmes)

51st KVIFF - I feel that this film doesn’t provide a more in-depth image of the relationship of Clara with that flat, and as a result, for most of it, instead of understanding her motivations and sympathising with her efforts to preserve the place where she has lived all her life (which would be a relevant motif, if well developed), she ends up looking like a stuck-up neomarxist ecowarrior, pitted against the evil developers under the banner of “nothing will be built here simply because I don’t want it”. Perhaps a deeper knowledge of the realities of Brazil could help.

An unusual reflection on memories, space, time, rebellion against establishment and unrelenting sensuality. Unlike the debut, Aquarius is not as consistent in every respect; nevertheless, its atmosphere, the construction of the shots and the main character played by the charismatic Sonia Braga are enchanting. The silent poetry of a doomed house and a woman sentenced to solitude, at the same time a hidden political statement (and when one looks at IMDb, one learns that Filho irritated the ruling Brazilian party not only with his film, but also with a protest gesture on the Cannes red carpet).
