Obscenidades

A bourgeois housewife's life is shaken by a series of anonymous letters that she periodically receives, increasingly obscene. At first, she believes the sender to be a complete stranger, then she begins to suspect her husband's friends. But she doesn't dare talk to her husband about the letters or their contents: she remains anxious, thinking about suicide, and always waiting for the postman.

Directed by Roberto Henkin, Obscenidades leans on a strong ensemble — Imara Reis, Hamilton Mosmann, Nina de Pádua — 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 drama titles of 1986.
