Seriado "Capitu" — Luís Fernando de Carvalho

Introdução

"Capitu" é um seriado televisivo dirigido por Luís Fernando Carvalho, baseado livremente no romance Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis. A obra reimagina a clássica narrativa do século XIX com uma linguagem audiovisual contemporânea, preservando o núcleo temático da dúvida, da memória e da traição, ao mesmo tempo em que expande e fragmenta a história para explorar outras vozes, tempos e camadas afetivas.

Who is Luis Fernando de Carvalho?

Before analyzing the series, it is crucial to understand the artist’s authority. Luis Fernando de Carvalho is not just a painter; he is a graphic novelist, illustrator, and chronicler of the human condition. Born in the mid-20th century, Carvalho built a career focused on literary adaptations. While many Brazilian artists illustrated the Sertão (backlands) or modern urban life, Carvalho specialized in extracting the psychological drama from classic texts.

As the years pass in Carvalho’s telling, Dom Casmurro becomes a figure of pity, not righteous fury. He builds his isolated manor not to protect his wounded honor, but to hide from the truth that he destroyed the only woman who ever truly saw him. When the grown Ezequiel dies—looking nothing like Escobar, but tragically like a younger, softer Bento—the old man finally breaks.

1. The Gaze of Accusation (Bentinho’s Perspective)

In the first group of drawings, Carvalho takes the perspective of the jealous husband. Bentinho is often depicted as a shadow—a faceless silhouette observing Capitu from a doorway or through a window.

The story begins not in the seminary, but in the spaces between Bento’s memories. Carvalho’s version gives Capitu a voice—not a loud one, but a persistent whisper that slips through the cracks of Bento’s narrative. We see her not as the snake-eyed temptress of Bento’s fever dreams, but as a sharp, intelligent girl trapped in a corseted society. Her famous “olhos de ressaca” (undertow eyes) are no longer a sign of deceit, but of a depth Bento could never understand, let alone control.

As the narrative progresses, the aging Bento (Melamed) wanders through his own memories, literally standing next to his younger self. This visual device reinforces the central theme of the novel: the subjectivity of truth. We are not seeing what happened; we are seeing what a jealous, lonely old man remembers happening.
