Elize Matsunaga: Era Uma Vez Um Crime

I can agree with self-defense, with a state of passion, with a fatal accident.

BUT DAMN IT! Sawing your husband into pieces and packing him in trash bags, suitcases, with your daughter sleeping in the next room is madness and cold calculation, not a "crime of passion and jealousy."
Then she manipulates the public and his family first of all, creates an alibi for herself and the victim, continues to look for him, asks for help, writes letters on his behalf. It was as if she had forgotten that she had scattered it all over the neighborhood the day before.

I absolutely don't want to focus on Eliza's escort past, but still, the financial aspect plays a huge role here. Even if you take into account the fact that she asks his family for financial support immediately after the murder.

Maybe I'm a bit of a snob, but the moment of "light nudity" in my soul is not entirely clear to me. We're kind of talking about the dismemberment of her husband here, while the main character washes and languidly looks through the fogged glass. 😶

I don't feel sorry for him or her. Marcus is an absolutely immature man with complexes (that's why he hangs out with prostitutes, he's the king against their background), who didn't need to get married at all. He's not able to be either a husband or a father (annoying how some witnesses make a saint out of him), would hang out with prostitutes all the way, and wouldn't mess with anyone's "family life." Life according to the scheme: a spree with a prostitute - marrying her - having a child- a new spree - divorce, etc. What did he want from Eliza? So that she would sit quietly, grateful for being "pulled out of the mud" and put up with his drinking sprees? But she couldn't stand it and killed him.
And what did Eliza want from him, knowing the history of his first marriage? So that he suddenly changed and became an exemplary family man ? No wonder she had a nervous breakdown and killed him, realizing that she was just a link in his pipeline.
This is a situation where everyone got their own way. As they say, all sisters have earrings.

I love Netflix documentaries. And I am even more pleased with the diversity of countries and stories in recent times.

As for this series, nothing is clear, but it is very interesting. But the main character inspires neither trust nor sympathy.

The film is very well made, I give it a 5
