Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (1976) is a Brazilian comedy-fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Sonia Braga stars as a widow whose dead first husband comes back — right as she's settled down with a far duller second one.

Vadinho was gorgeous, broke, and addicted to gambling and women; he partied so hard he dropped dead in the middle of Carnival in Bahia. Flor mourns, then marries Teodoro, a decent pharmacist who is steady, kind, and a crushing bore in bed. Then Vadinho's naked ghost starts showing up at her bedside, visible to no one but her. She can't make him leave. Now she has two husbands at once: one who gives her respectability, one who gives her everything her body misses. José Wilker as the restless dead man and Mauro Mendonça as the timid druggist are perfect opposite poles.

Director Bruno Barreto adapted Jorge Amado's novel into one of the biggest Brazilian box-office hits of its era, the film that turned Sonia Braga into an international name. Sensual, sly, and refreshingly frank about female desire. Stream Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (1976) online on iFILM.
