领主的女儿

　　依然是Vera Cruz Studios出品的爱情经典，本片由Anselmo Duarte担任主演。影片获得1954年德国柏林国际电影节城市特别奖。
　　In 19th century Brazil, young people in the State of Sao Paulo fight against black slavery and the farmers who support it. Against this backdrop, Sinhá Moca falls in love with a young lawyer, and they get involved in a great love story.
　　A Powerful Romance in Times of Changings in the Brazilian Society. The movie itself is a masterpiece of the Brazilian Companhia Vera Cruz. This ambitious studio originated in 1949 in Sao Paulo, and hired foreigner technicians, aiming at great productions instead of the common "chanchadas". Unfortunately, the lack of a viable scheme of distribution was considered the major cause of the failure of Vera Cruz. "Sinhá-Moca" is amazingly perfect, comparable to the famous "Gone With the Wind". This black and white movie has a magnificent direction of Tom Payne and Oswaldo Sampaio; the cast is outstanding, highlighting Eliane Lage (amazing how Penélope Cruz has a great resemblance with this great Brazilian actress); the photography uses shadows like in the impressionist German movies and is amazing; the screenplay romantically uses a historical moment of the history of Brazil.
