Filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra’s second collaboration (after the acclaimed Hard Labor) deftly integrates art-house and genre cinema to create a thrilling and dark gothic fable with sharp social commentary. Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans. With powerful visuals and impeccable cinematography by Zama’s Rui Poças, Good Manners is Disney meets Jacques Tourneur. The film becomes an unexpected and wild werewolf movie unlike any other, and a poignant social and racial allegory on modern-day Brazilian society. directed by: Juliana Rojas, Marco Dutra starring: Isabél Zuaa, Marjorie Estiano 2017 / 135 min / 1.85:1 / Portuguese DTS-HD MA 5.1 Additional info: Region A Blu-ray Commentary from Shelagh Rowen-Legg and Carolyn Mauricette 12-page booklet with an essay by Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer The Making of a Werewolf (2 minutes) - behind the scenes video A Stem (2007, 15 minutes) - directed by Juliana Rojas & Marco Dutra Doppelgänger (2012, 24 minutes) - directed by Juliana Rojas English subtitles
