All the Women in the World

Once I started whatching it, I couldn't stop! What a delicious miniseries.

I spent two days mesmerized by the miniseries All Women in the World, the modern and current development of Domingos Oliveira's emblematic film. Oliveira is known for his sensitive outlook on life, through his loving poems and also loaded with humor that are part of his style.

The series is a delight, it is a hit in everything, starting with the couple: Paulo, the main caracter is super talented Emílio Dantas; Maria Alice is Sophie Charlotte at the height of her beauty, grace and talent.

Paulo is a passionate man. For freedom, poetry and women. For all women. Of the world. He is able to be enchanted at first sight several times and to surrender, in each relationship, with the intensity of those who live eternal love. Paulo has passion as a fuel for life. He firmly believes that love feeds his soul as a poet and sees the essence of each of the women with whom he relates.

The cast of each episode is fantastic. Great script and a sensitive direction. And last, but not least an outstanding soundtrack, all sung by Brazilian women. I advise marathon. More than a perfect antidote to this time of quarentine!

This TV series is a delirious dream of an elitist carioca that lives at a high income region. Paulo is a middle age man-child architect that poses as an intellectual even though he's just an alcoholic that recites bad poetry at the bar.

The series is a sequence of Paulo's affairs where exhibits all his warped sense of partnership. From betraying his partners to gaslighting and disrespecting them in public, Paulo throws tantrums around every episode towards woman in order to pressure them to do whatever he wants, blaming them for his wrongful acts and abusing them in many ways. The directors constantly sugar-coat him, trying to diminish his vices and defects. Paulo drinks whisky all day and treats woman as trophies to be conquered and objects to have sex with. AV productions do not need to show just kind acts and well-behaviored characters, however this series makes the huge disservice of normalizing misogynous acts as everyday things. Most characters are middle/upper class hypocritical citizens of Rio de Janeiro that engage in non-sense lustful and pitiful plots.

It's a complete mess, this isn't a homage to women, it's just a men's dream where he tries to fill-in his own emptiness with women and proceeds to dump them when he gets bored. There's no place for this in the 21st century.

Me and my girlfriend would rather had not wasted time watching this.

Well written and well made. Art direction and production superb. Masterfull soundtrack containing only female singers. I just couldn't put down. Brilliant!
