5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartwarming fantasy about love and life! Beautiful!!!!, May 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Dona Flor is the film version of internationlly acclaimed Brazilian author, Jorge Amado's masterpiece! It is a beautiful story of a Bahian woman and her first husband who is arrogant and abusive but at the same time passionate and sexy. He dies. Her second husband is a good provider and loves her but lacks the passion and charm of the 1st husband. When the first husband's spirit comes back to Dona Flor she soon realizes that she can have everything she ever wanted. It is a beautiful story and Sonia Braga's performance is brilliant as usual! The cinematography shows great views of the fasinating city of Salvador. Well worth watching! E um dos melhores fimles do Brasil!!!! E uma maravilha!

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling movie that grasps your attention., July 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A wonderful movie from beginning to end. Don't let the subtitles keep you from watching such a brilliant movie.
Sonia Braga is a wonderful Brazilian actress, once again displaying her sensual side in this movie about a loving wife torn between her gigolo husband and a loving devoted husband.
I never get tired of watching this classic.
And if you haven't read the book. you must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sultry and sexy Sonia Braga reigns supreme in "Dona Flor", March 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Dona Flor & Her Two Husbands" gives a wonderful and often charming glimpse into one woman's life--and affairs of the heart--in 1940's Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. If you're an aficionado of all things Brazilian, you'll love "Dona Flor," from the Bahian Carnaval to moqueca to candomble (NOT voodoo) to a great shot of the Pelorinho at the film's close. Not for the sensually inhibited, "Dona Flor" is highly entertaining.
