Good Manners
Disney fairytale meets body horror in this Brazilian marvel about Clara, who accepts a nanny position from Ana, a wealthy mother-to-be. Quite possibly the greatest contemporary horror film you’ve never seen.
Director: Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas
Overview
Social satire meets Disney fairytale in this Brazilian marvel, directed by Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra. Clara (Isabél Zuaa), a struggling care worker from a poor neighbourhood in São Paulo, accepts a job as live-in nanny to Ana (Marjorie Estiano), a wealthy pregnant woman facing single parenthood. But the odd couple set-up soon devolves into something much beastlier.
Good Manners is Rojas and Dutra’s second collaboration after Hard Labor, in which a husband and wife faced the twin terrors of a snarling black hell dog creature and long-term unemployment.
