Synopsis
Good Manners (As Boas Maneiras, 2018) is a Brazilian-French horror fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, co-directed by Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra. Clara (Isabel Zuaa) earns her living as a nurse on São Paulo's outskirts. She answers an ad for a nanny position. The woman who placed it, Ana (Marjorie Estiano), is wealthy, pregnant, and conspicuously alone.
A real intimacy develops between them. Then Ana's pregnancy starts showing signs Clara can't rationalize away, and she realizes the unborn child carries something she was not prepared for. The film splits into two distinct acts — and the second one lands in a different genre entirely, without warning or transition.
It picked up the Special Jury Prize at Berlinale 2018's Panorama section. Brazilian Gothic horror this precisely controlled rarely reaches international screens. Stream Good Manners (2018) online on iFILM.
