A funny fantasy film
Rodrigo_Amaro13 May 2021
"A Mulher Fatal Encontra O Homem Ideal" ("The Femme Fatale Meets the Ideal Man") is an amusing and funny short film where Carla Camurati plays a daydreaming street cleaner who spends her spare time watching soap operas on TV and when she receives the visit of a enchanted fairy she becomes a beautiful woman who causes sensation whenever she goes and gets the attention of a director and a producer who want to cast her in their new project co-starring with the hunk star Elvis Mambo (Thales Pan Chacon). But there are surprises on the way...

Rich in detail and almost playing as if being a silent film, the short is easy on the eyes just as the leading actors, and with its mixture of fantasy and reality, color and black and white, it all makes it more interesting. This marked as the very first film project directed by Camurati, later on famous for bringing the Brazilian back to a proud status with the successful "Carlota Joaquina - Princesa do Brazil", one of the greatest box-office and critical results of all time in Brazil. As for this film, I was laughing for a long time. Just wished I'd heard about it sooner but it came in a nice time. 10/10.
