Not typical at all
Set in a typical Brazilian beach, featuring a typical family on
a typical vacation, nevertheless there is nothing typical about
Heitor Dahlia’s new movie Adrift. It tells the story of a
fourteen year old girl, Filipa, through her eyes. On a hot summer
she experiences the changes that are happening to her body as well
as the changes in her family, which affects her from the
outside.
Vincent Cassel portraits her father, a men whose daughter is
becoming a woman before his eyes but he is not able to see it. A
father whose daughter perceives him as the ideal man turns out to
be normal, as any other man, interested in other women, not only
her mother. The finding of a mistress (Camilla Belle) changes their
relationship, establishing a game of liking and disliking and
finding out the reasons for her parents acts is the prize.
Dhalia is used to putting his characters under a magnifying glass,
he did that with Nina and Drained. The madness of the most unusual
people was exposed to the viewers; now, an apparently normal
microcosm is imbued with drama.
The painful transition which Filipa is going through is told as if
it was poetry, the senses are enhanced by the stunning scenery and
musical score. Antonio Pinto´s music follows the leading
lady´s footsteps.
It is almost a period piece, since it’s set during the
eighties. We can see that every piece of clothing had special
treatmente, it wasn´t found in a flee market. What could be a very
steriotyped wardrobe almost screems: The Wham!
Like a child, the character’s losses seem umbearable, an
infinite suffering that will never go away. Like a woman, she
learns to see things under a different light.
The cast´s chemistry works so well that we almost believe they are
an actual family, it feels close to a documentary. Vincent Cassel´s
clumsy and laid back father and Débora Bloch´s alcoholic and
unloved mother seem members of any other (complicated) family.
Although we have in front of us a pretty tropical place, the
influences are cleary European. It is pratically impossible not to
notice a flair of the French Nouvelle Vague, to be more specific,
Truffaut’s debut Les quatre cents coups; Filipa running to
the beach is the spitting image of Antoine Doinel.
It is a story about growing up, in every sense of the word, growing
as a person, growing into an adult, changing. Heitor Dhalia is
changing as well as his characters; he is turning into a bonafied
good movie director.
