A feminist medieval fable, built from the fusion of two folklore tales.
JCM changes the open vistas and natural grandeur from his last film, "Veredas", to the very self-conscious artificiality of studio scenarios. Somehow, this self-consciousness, allied to the flowery, lyrical dialogues and the ponderous pace of "Silvestre", convey perfectly the sense that we are being told a tale from another age.
The only down point in "Silvestre" is the heavy use of coloured filters in the rare outdoors scenes.
