About Dona Violante Miranda
Ms. Violante Miranda is a bordello owner who raises a small girl as her own granddaughter. When she gets a little older, she is sent to study in Europe, and when she returns, she becomes a socialite, rejecting her previous milieu and her "grandmother".
Directed by Fernando de Barros, Dona Violante Miranda leans on a strong ensemble — Dercy Gonçalves, Odete Lara, Fernando Baleroni — 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 comedy titles of 1960.
