In 1925, Nacib (Marcello Mastroianni) is the owner of a bar in a small Brazilian coastal town runs by the local colonels. He meets Gabriela (Sonia Braga) and hires her on as a cook. They soon enter a passionate relationship, fueled by his strong attraction to her sensual nature. However, he soon grows annoyed by the attention she receives. Under his best friend Tonico's (Cantafora) advice, he proposes to her, thinking it will stop the attention. After they're married, he warns her to dress and behave more modestly so they will be seen as more respectable, but she can't help but stray and he is forced to annul their marriage when he finds her in bed with none other than Tonico. Later, as both Nacib and the town begin to undergo a transformation, Nacib and Gabriela resume their relationship. The town's political ways modernize slightly and Gabriela returns as Nacib's mistress.
Leave your thoughts about Gabriela.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA spicy drama that blends sex and social commentary on Brazilian mores. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinWhenever the film wanders away from Gabriela, it seems to dawdle aimlessly before finding her again. |
| Time OutBob BakerNumber one item on the agenda, however, is the camera's on-going perusal of the Braga bod. Mastroianni as Gabriela's main man lends an air of consequence to the proceedings. |
| User ReviewLucas MBased on Jorge Amado's novel, Gabriela it's a erotic drama by Bruno Barreto with terrific actings by Marcello Mastroianni and Sonia Braga. A chronicle about costum, society, sex and love. Gabriela have the bold of present nudity and sex scenes, showing the beauty in human body and love between the characters of Gabriela and Nacib. Fresh. |
| User ReviewBruno LWonderful Brazilian soap. Steamy. The book, as usual, is much better. |
