What more could you ask for on a wet afternoon, a cup of pipping hot coffee, a Medu Wada straight from the tawa, the company of good friends and a romantic comedy for you to laugh away the afternoon. Sr Dange is the perfect host!
‘A Bela e o Paparazzo’ is a romantic comedy, no deep undercurrents to be analysed await you, just relax, sip your scalding coffee, gingerly bite into the moist Medu Wada and you have a perfect afternoon.
The simple plot follows a much loved storyline, Mariana a soap opera artiste is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Things are falling apart, her ratings are plummeting, but everything reaches a breaking point for Mariana when ‘Gabriela Santos’ the most feared paparazzo follows each and every move she makes. Any small move on her part is captured by Gabriela, Mariana would like to pulp her, yank her hair out, and smash her face in, if only she could lay her hands on her.
But who is this illusive Gabriela? It’s just that Gabriela is not really Gabriela but João, on contract to follow Mariana as though his life depended on it. And it does, at least the payments do. Things come to a head when Mariana meets with an accident and João aka the much feared Gabriela rescues Mariana. From then on as expected, a love story begins and João as we can all imagine tries his best to hide his identity from Mariana but in the end love triumphs.
Attention seems to be focussed on the fact that being a paparazzo is not a respectable form of photojournalism, although being a paparazzo does require a great deal of guts, hard work and spirit. So a rehabilitated João turns to photography. In the same manner Mariana is discouraged from being a soap opera actress in favour of theatre.
