About The Body
Xavier, a pharmacist, lives peacefully in bigamy with his two women, Carmen and Beatriz, but the harmony breaks down when they find he has another lover, Monique, a nightclub dancer.
Directed by José Antônio Garcia, The Body leans on a strong ensemble — Antônio Fagundes, Marieta Severo, Cláudia Jimenez — 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 1991.
