About Capitu
Adaptation of Machado de Assis’s classic novel “Dom Casmurro”. Bentinho and Capitu are friends since childhood and end up marrying. But Bentinho destroys his life when he starts suspecting Capitu has an affair with his best friend and that his son is not really his.
Directed by Paulo César Saraceni, Capitu leans on a strong ensemble — Isabella Cerqueira Campos, Othon Bastos, Raul Cortez — 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 1968.
