End your week with a matinee! Join the Parker Hill branch for a showing of Good Manners, a film in which Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of São Paulo, is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana as the nanny for her unborn child. The two women develop a strong bond, but a fateful night changes their plans.


"Ambitiously allegorical, “Good Manners” dramatizes class and racial tensions in contemporary Brazil by creating contrasting worlds: rich and poor, black and white, high-rise chic and shantytown. Suffused with harp music and gorgeously lighted (the cinematographer, Rui Poças, paints inky shadows you could drown in), the film blends raw horror, deftly composed songs, beautifully drawn storyboards and strong lead performances into a single, elegant package." - Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times


Run time: 2 hrs 15 minutes; Rated PG; Closed captioning available.
