About Carlota Joaquina, Princess of Brazil
The Spanish Infanta Carlota Joaquina is promised to D. João VI at the age of 10. Forced to leave for Portugal, Carlota suffers a great disappointment when she meets her promised prince. With the death of D. José, Carlota Joaquina and D. João VI inherit the Portuguese crown. However, frightened by the French Revolution and the approach of Napoleon's army, they decide to flee to their colony: Brazil.
Directed by Carla Camurati, Carlota Joaquina, Princess of Brazil leans on a strong ensemble — Marieta Severo, Marco Nanini, Ludmila Dayer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1995.
