    Surprising!

    "Apassionata" is much better than you expect. It is listed as a drama, but there is a little of mystery in it too.

    Tônia Carrero, who is one of the best Brazilian theatre actress of all times, plays Silvia Nogalis, a pianist who is charged with murder when her husband is found dead. Together with police investigation we see Silvia trying to keep on living her life as normal as she can.

    The good direction makes "Apassionata" seem like one of those good American thrillers, what is great!

    My rate 7/10
