The first Kikito we don’t forget. Gloria Pires received her only of hers at the Gramado Festival last year. Despite her long career on TV and in film, she confesses that she has been a thrill. “I had already received the Candango for Best Actress, in Brasilia, for Smoking is forbiddenbut the movie Anna (Muylaert) it was a blast, award-winning. my prize for the suspect was the only one of which the long Pietro (Pilgrim) has received. I was happy for the whole team. It is a film made with a lot of effort. “The feature will debut in theaters on Thursday 16.

Between her and the director there is a ten-year partnership, in soap operas and, now, in cinema. Speaking of soap operas, how is Gloria al Globo’s life? “There is a soap opera I can’t talk about yet, because the station hasn’t made the official announcement, but it should be out next year.” What was, and still is, life like in the pandemic? “Oh, very difficult, right? I had covid right at the beginning, with my son. Ours came weak, but Orlando’s (husband) was a difficulty for all of us. Despite the general release climate, there is little cure. I follow what the science says. “The film?” We started work in 2017 and shot it at the end of 2018. The curious thing is that the film was ready when we noticed a mistake in the title of the newspaper at the end. . What we did was repeat the shoot. “

hypothesis

Perhaps it is not the case to clarify the error, at the risk of spoilers. It refers to the presence, or absence, of the suspect – Gloria – on the cover of the newspaper. In the film, she has acting, production and even a third-credits of artistic collaboration. “I really took part in the whole creative process of this film. I felt in everything, like I never did before. Pedro (director), very dear, insisted on the extra credit. We understand each other very well, trust me Our last work together on TV was the we were sixa very human family story. “There is a tradition of Brazilian crime films. Action films, violent. Assault on the paid train, The city of God, Elite team, each with its own imprint. who will see the suspect waiting for that thread will break your face.

The film looks like no recent Brazilian police officer. “Neither American, nor world-wide. It’s exceptional”, conceptualizes the director. We have to believe it. Gloria plays the intelligence commissioner of the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police investigating a case. You discover evidence of the participation of fellow police officers. Corruption, murder. The police chief himself, with the motivation that he wants to protect her – they had an affair in the past – tries to stop the investigation.

Everything is very hazy and, to complicate matters, the flight attendant suffers from an accelerated Alzheimer’s process. She writes messages to herself on the computer in the future, so she doesn’t forget. The theme of memory is fundamental. The writer, a key part of the plot, says, in a master class, that Brazil has no memory, and it’s serious business. Alzheimer’s metaphorizes the political question of memory which risks being erased.

Labyrinth

The shape is labyrinthine. Gloria walks a lot in the film, corridors leading to corridors and new corridors. The labyrinth of the mind. Where is the exit? “It’s something that isn’t easy to build,” reflect the director and the actress, but they worked hard and succeeded. The discomfort remains in the viewer. with screenplay by Thiago Doctors and the argument of the political scientist Luiz Eduardo Soaresthe feature was shown in the Hors Concours session a River festival last year.

the suspect it is very different from another film that Gloria is also ready to debut. A holiday movie for July. Gloria is inside ninja grandmother, new comedy by Bruno Barreto. “I do this with my daughter, Cleo.” Another family movie? Cleo did it Take me out of sightwith the father, Fabio Jr.and brother, fiuk. “It’s delicious and we lead such busy lives that shooting like this brings us back together.” Gloria had to prepare for the fight scenes in defense of her imaginary grandchildren. But she warns: “I only went as far as my knee allowed.”
