Global Lens Film Series: Engaging World Cinema
CRAFT (Riscado)
Brazil | 2010 | 85 minutes
Portuguese and French, with subtitles in English
Global Lens Film Series – Join us for a screening of this 2010 film from Brazil, Craft (Riscado) by director Gustavo Pizzi. The film tells the story of Bianca who manages a precarious living as a talented but underemployed actress in Rio de Janeiro by performing for private events dressed as Marilyn Monroe, Carmen Miranda and other female movie icons. No longer in her 20s, the gnawing thought she has missed her chance troubles Bianca even as she perseveres with stoical good cheer and single-minded dedication to her craft. When, during an audition for a Brazilian/French film production, the details of her life inspire the director to recast the project around her experience, it looks like not only her big break but redemption for years of struggle and social marginality. But the world may still prove too insecure and arbitrary for even one as gifted, hardworking and deserving as Bianca. (85 minutes; Portuguese and French with English subtitles)
