G.H., a well-to-do Rio sculptress, enters her maid’s room, sees a cockroach crawling out of the wardrobe, and, panicking, slams the door on it. But the sight of the dying insect provokes a mystical crisis.
The Passion According to G.H. is a 2023 Brazilian drama film directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, based on the novel of the same name by Clarice Lispector. The film was expected to be released by the end of 2020, in celebration for Lispector's 100th anniversary, before being delayed.
