Brazilian dancing in France is something new. I watched this movie because of Isabelle Huppert. I like this actress for her exclusivity and deep acting talent. Almost always she plays strange, extraordinary women, and the role in this film is no exception.
Why did I watch this movie?
First of all, an interesting name. As soon as I read the word “Copacabana”, I was very intrigued.
Secondly, Hupper is a brilliant actress, and all those who love, watch and know European cinema will support me. Any film with her is an unforgettable thing.
Thirdly, I read that Isabelle Huppert’s daughter plays in this film, and I immediately became incredibly interested in watching the mother-daughter duet.
After watching the film, I was very pleased: the play of the main character Babu performed by Hupper is simply magnificent! I liked the whole story of the film: original and not boring. I remember the Brazilian dance Babu at my daughter’s wedding, I laughed, it was really unexpected and funny.
Babu is looking for easy ways through life. She often changes jobs and does whatever she wants, but when she loses respect in her daughter, everything changes in an instant, and the main character takes up her mind. I wondered how often, without knowing it, children are cruel to their parents, and they endure everything, because parental love is endless for their children.
The film reveals the “magic world” of an interesting and unusual woman. We see how she lives and what happens to her. I am sure that all fans of the beautiful acting of Isabel Huppert will not regret watching this film! I believe that Copacabana is one of the brightest and most interesting films in the list of the French actress by the fact that it contains the rabid energy of the heroine Babu, who was endowed with such unusual qualities by Isabelle Huppert.
