Resumo(s)
João Botelho adaptou ao ecrã o livro A Corte do Norte (1987) de Agustina Bessa-Luís, cujo argumento tinha previamente sido elaborado por José Álvaro de Morais, realizando o filme em 2008. A história baseia-se na vida da famosa actriz de teatro do século XIX Emília das Neves e sobrepõe simbolicamente várias gerações de mulheres entre 1860 e 1960, criando relações implícitas e explícitas entre elas e desenvolvendo-se em torno de uma morte misteriosa. Com a ilha da Madeira como cenário, a paisagem assume um importante papel ao
nível do significado, acentuando o sentido de mistério que perpassa ao longo de todo o filme. A sobreposição de diversos planos temporais, a correspondente identificação entre as várias personagens femininas e o peso do texto literário atribuem à obra fílmica um tom universal e onírico, pese embora a base histórica que a sustenta. Tal como a Bessa-
Luís, também a Botelho interessou representar o lugar da mulher no mundo, tanto nas suas implicações sociais e políticas quanto nas que se prendem com a sua dimensão de mistério.
Estudo sobre a adaptação do romance de Agustina Bessa-Luís "A Corte do Norte" pelo cineasta João Botelho.
In 2008, João Botelho adapted to the screen the book A Corte do Norte/The Northern Court (1987) by Agustina Bessa-Luís, whose argument had previously been composed by José Álvaro de Morais. The story is based on the life of the famous 19th century theatre actress Emília das Neves and symbolically overlaps several generations of women between 1860 and 1960, creating implicit and explicit relationships among them, developed around a mysterious death. With the Island of Madeira as a backdrop, the landscape constitutes an important element of meaning, increasing the sense of mystery that runs through the entire film. The overlapping of several temporal planes, the correspondent identification between different female characters and the weight of the literary text gives the work a universal and dreamlike tone, despite the historical basis that sustains it. Like Bessa-Luís, Botelho is interested in portraying the social and political implications of a woman’s place in the world and capturing its dimension of mystery.
