Vadinho appears, naked in her bedroom, announcing that Dona Flor has sent for him and his job is to satisfy her, to disrupt her boring tranquility. Things move slowly in her life until she starts thinking about Vadinho, and Barreto, closely following Amado’s novel, indulges in a little supernatural fancy. He’s dedicated to Dona Flor, but it’s all so ordinary.
Teodoro (Mauro Mendonca), the local druggist, is a respectable sort with only one vice, playing classical music, rather unevenly, on his oboe. She loves that last part.īut he dies after a day of excess during carnival, and she remarries. He’s a boozing, woman-chaser who steals his wife’s money but makes delirious love to her at night. Played by Sonia Braga with an eroticism that is somehow both primal and pristine (she’s a whiz at conveying the desire under the still, reserved surface), Dona Flor is married to Vadinho (Jose Wilker) at the film’s outset. In the 1978 movie, screening at UC Irvine Friday as part of the “offbeat comedy series,” Dona Flor faces the conundrum of sexual domesticity head on, hilariously conflicted by her need for both fire and a fire extinguisher. That’s pretty much the idea behind “Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands,” Bruno Barreto’s sly adaptation of Jorge Amado’s influential Brazilian novel. Is a woman’s ideal man a hybrid of the steady, dependable clerk and the passionate, unpredictable Romeo, the kind of guy who can put the kids to bed one moment and put his wife to bed the next?
