CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on “The Book of Delights,” and adaptation of a famous South American novel that is a production of Brazil and Argentina, currently available for digital download or through Video On Demand beginning on September 2nd, 2022.

An adaptation from a novel by the late Clarice Lispector, Lóri (Simone Sploladore) is a lonely and melancholy woman who divides her time between her tasks as an elementary school teacher and her romantic relationships, which are always quick and superficial. By chance, she meets the Argentine Ulysses (Javier Drolas), a renowned professor of philosophy, somewhat self-centered. And even as Ulysses seems elusive, it is with him that Lóri will learn to love and face her own loneliness.
