Review by fkolkc

A Cartomante is based on the tale of the one of the most known Brazilian's writer, Machado de Assis. The story turns around Rita, Camilo and Vilela, who are the main characters. In the movie, Camilo (....) is Vilela's oldest and best friend. Vilela ( ...) is married with Rita, a beautiful blonde woman (Deborah Secco) . When Rita looks at Camilo, they fall in love for each other. Rita is very superstitious, so she believes in horoscope and cartomancy and rules her life based on that. Villela is also trying to become the main director of the hospital that he works. His competitor is Antônia Maria dos anjos, a psychologist who is having sessions with Camilo and Rita. The rest of the story is Camilo and Rita attempt to hide their secret love. This movie is very boring. The original three-pages-last century- tale is much better. This movie is good when you want something to make you sleep at night.
