Film in Pictures: Heitor Dhalia’s Adrift

I’ve officially placed Heitor Dhalia’s Adrift on my Cannes coverage list. The next big director to come out of Brazil (remember his name folks) is actually the director’s third feature film outing, following 2004’s Nina and 2006’s Drained. The Un Certain Regard selection is set in the 1980s, and centers on a 14-year-old girl who struggles with her life when she learns of the infidelities of her father (Vincent Cassel) while undergoing her own sexual awakening.

Camilla Belle will play a young woman having an affair with the father.

Art Director on all of his films, Guta Carvalho has an online portfolio with a great set of images from the film/film set that are definitely worth a look. The picture was produced by Fernando Meirelles‘ prod co.
