Love for Sale Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Karim Aïnouz , Release: 2006, Runtime: 90 In this terrific follow-up to his internationally successful debut feature Madame Satã, Karim Aïnouz creates a very different portrait of an indomitable survivor. Returning to her hometown in poor northeastern Brazil, Hermila (Hermila Guedes) awaits the arrival of her boyfriend, though her spunk and zest for life take on an increasingly desperate edge when it becomes clear that he will not be coming. Guedes’ major achievement is making Hermila likeable even in her most desperately miscalculated actions of despair. Breathtaking camerawork by veteran cinematographer Walter Carvalho captures not only the soulful decency of the townspeople but makes the empty landscape and rich colors an integral part of their characterization. co-production: Brazil/France/Germany Karim Aïnouz studied architecture at the University of Brasilia and cinema studies at NYU before working as an assistant director and editor on several films. Love for Sale is his second feature film. Sat Mar 24: 3:45pm at The Museum of Modern Art Sun Mar 25: 8:15pm at the Walter Reade Theater
