Bruno Barreto’s romantic drama, set in the 1950s–60s, follows Pulitzer Prize–winning American poet Elizabeth Bishop and her affair with architect Lota de Macedo Soares, designer of Rio’s Flamengo Park. Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings) portrays Bishop as icy yet vulnerable, while Glória Pires embodies the passionate Lota. The film juxtaposes Bishop’s alcoholism with Lota’s park obsession against the backdrop of Brazil’s brewing military coup. As their relationship unravels and Bishop returns to New York, the film explores the quest for inspiration and is a cautionary tale on relationship dynamics and the art of losing. Marcelo Zarvos’s score draws the audience into the complexity of the main character’s feelings. Iconic Brazilian songs by Humberto Teixeira, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and Vinicius de Moraes, along with classics by Irving Berlin and Billie Holiday are featured in the soundtrack. 4K restoration courtesy of L.C.
