    Life As It (Not Necessarily) Is

    Fine TV series bringing together Nelson Rodrigues' short stories originally published in newspapers. With acidity and sarcasm , it focuses on Rio de Janeiro's urban life of his time, and exposes its hypocrisies and futility. In the newspaper form, 'Life as It Is' premiered in 1950 and was soon a popular success because, like fine journalism, it was spoken directly to the public; like sophisticated literature, it made your convictions shake. It was a radio program in the 1960s, narrated by Procópio Ferreira, and an LP album, released by Odeon. It was turned into a photonovela. It gave rise BTW to one of the great commercial successes of Brazilian cinema, the lousy, obscene 'A dama do lotação' (The Minivan's Lady)
