Flim/Video FILMING TO THE HEART: SCREEN WORKS BY HEDDY HONIGMANN O AMOR NATURAL DIRECTED BY HEDDY HONIGMANN FRIDAY, MAY 17, 2002, 8 PM $6 ($4 WALKER MEMBERS) AUDITORIUM  |
The erotic poems of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, a household name in Brazil, remained unpublished during his lifetime, as he feared they would be deemed pornographic. O Amor Natural celebrates his poetry with recitations by seniors in Rio de Janeiro, which inspires them to talk about their youth, their passion, and their memories of sex and love. Through the words of the poems, the recollections of those reciting them, and the pervasive sensuality on the streets and beaches of Rio de Janeiro, the film becomes a moving, funny, taboo-breaking ode to physical love. 1996, The Netherlands, color, 35mm, in Portuguese with English subtitles, 76 minutes.
