Berenice

1996 • 51 min

Berenice is a meditation on a dream of lost plenitude, and its inversion into decay. The events depicted in the film concern the formation and dissolution of a utopian community in 1832, and the psychic and physical disintegration of two members of that community. In an allusion to the interiority of the main character, Berenice, whose flashbacks form the film’s narrating consciousness, the oblique and inward-turning fictive structure gives itself over to delirious visual asides. The film is partially adapted from the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name. Additional primary sources used in constructing the film include texts by the 19th-century French utopian Charles Fourier and the collected letters from Brook Farm.

With the success of the "Sexto Sentido" Tour, Xuxa Produções together with Globo Vídeo began selling the show's record at the end of 1995 as a test for a possible release. The sale was carried out only by telephone. After the satisfactory sales result, the commercialization of the VHS materialized in May 1996 and the home video started to be found in the main stores in Brazil, in addition to rental stores. VHS brings the show of the second phase (1995), but without the majority of Xuxa's interactions with the public, without the guests who sang between the blocks and the performances of You Can Dance. The VHS edition did not have a base show as in the subsequent releases of Xuxa, but rather a mix of several recordings from the tour, including some shows from 1994.
