Clara Nunes (1942 – 1983) – seen in an image from a 1982 photo shoot – will have her journey told in the film titled 'Clara' Wilton Montenegro / Disclosure ? OPINION ? The life of Clara Nunes (August 12, 1942 – April 2, 1983) was really like a movie. It is not surprising that, in the wave of biopics about music stars and stars, Matizar Filmes has announced the production of a feature-length fiction film about the life of the singer from Minas Gerais, whose luminous voice conquered Brazil throughout the 1970s with albums such as “Alvorecer” (1974), “Claridade” (1975), “Canto das Trêsraças” (1976), “As Forças da Natureza” (1977) and “Guerreira” (1978), among other great albums. Actress Camila Pitanga will play the artist in the film titled “Clara”. With a script by Flavia Vieira and Janaína Tokitaka, the biopic has a big question ahead: addressing (even if superficially) or simply ignoring the family tragedy that haunted Clara Nunes' life, even when the singer had already established herself in her career in the 1970s and lived in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), far from the site of the tragedy. This is the murder of a 17-year-old young man, Adilson Alvarez da Costa, killed on September 3, 1957 by the singer's brother, José Pereira Gonçalves, known as Zé Chilau. The crime was committed in "defense of the honor" of the then teenager Clara and had serious consequences in the life of the young woman, who had to migrate from the interior of Minas Gerais to Belo Horizonte (MG) to escape the wrath of the city where she lived with her family. This tragic fact in the singer's biography only came to light in 2007 with the publication of the landmark biography “Clara Nunes – Guerreira da utopia”, written by journalist Vagner Fernandes. As Fernandes reports in the book, Clara Nunes lived with the consequences of the tragedy throughout her life, but everything suggests that the focus of the film “Clara” will essentially be directed to the professional trajectory of the singer, who struggled in the second half of the 1960s until finding a path and an artistic identity by choosing samba as the theme of her discography from 1971 onwards, adopting the stylized Afro-Brazilian image idealized by radio host Adelzon. Alves, music producer of the records that established Clara Nunes as a samba singer through four albums released between 1971 and 1974. The biopic “Clara” is a project carried out by Matizar Filmes in partnership with Paraguassu, producer of actress Camila Pitanga, and in co-production with H2O Produções.
