Rio de Clarice (2026)

Rio de Clarice is a 2026 Brazilian anthology-style drama inspired by the writing of Clarice Lispector. The film brings several of Lispector's short stories to the screen in a segmented feature that explores intimate relationships, family tensions, loneliness and moments of emotional transformation.

The project draws on stories including A Bela e a Fera, Amor, Feliz Aniversário, Preciosidade and Mal-estar de um Anjo. Rather than adapting a single narrative, the film uses multiple episodes to create a broader portrait of Lispector's recurring concerns with identity, desire and everyday emotional conflict.

Letícia Spiller, Lucélia Santos and Letícia Isnard are among the credited performers, while Teresópolis and other locations in Rio de Janeiro provide the setting for the production.
