Maids- Fernando Meirelles, Nando Olival
Based on two years of interviews and an acclaimed theater production, Maids is a colorful, spirited look at the lives of five indefatigable maids in Saõ Paolo. Meirelles and screenwriter Olival weave the women's stories of hope, heartbreak and resiliency with a warmly comic touch. Brought together on the bus they ride and the "invisible" work they do, each has their story. Quiteria is a maid, like her mother before her, and is looked after by her friend Cida. Roxanne dreams of being an actress, Raimunda longs to be married, and Roxanne simply wishes that maybe she wasn't. All the while, Creo agonizes over the disappearence of her grown daughter. Not a movie about maids as much as a maid's movie, Maids is a fast and funny portrait set to the rhythm of a samba beat. (90 mins.) Print courtesy of o2 Filmes.
