NOSSAS
NOITES (OUR SOULS AT NIGHT, USA, 2017) – Escondido no cardápio da
Netflix, este filme sensível é sobre Louis, um viúvo que mora numa pequena
cidade do Colorado e tem muita dificuldade para dormir. Sempre acordado antes
do nascer do sol, ele é mais um homem solitário numa tela de Edward Hooper.
Então, sua vizinha, Addie, o convida para dormir com ela. Belo reencontro de
Redford e Fonda, que protagonizaram DESCALÇOS NO PARQUE, em 1967. Louis (Robert Redford)
is a widower who lives on the sleepy fringes of small-town Colorado, where he
is unable to get much shut-eye of his own. He’s always up before the sun comes
up, with the radio on and the newspaper open, just another lonesome old man
living an Edward Hopper existence. Then one night there’s a tap on the door and
in walks Addie (Jane Fonda), who lives across the street and is in pretty much
the same boat. Out of the blue, without preamble, Addie asks Louis if he
wouldn’t mind coming over to sleep with her. Not for the sex, just for the
company, because she is lonely and the nights are the worst. It’s a terrific
opening gambit and Fonda plays it with aplomb. Her appeal is so nakedly sincere
that something catches in your chest. Nice reunion of the stars of BAREFOOT IN
THE PARK (1967).
