A work of Brazilian cinema, The Hour of the Star (1985), (A hora da estrela) is a film adaptation of a novel by Clarice Lispector of the same name published in 1977, shortly before the author’s death. The Hour of the Star deals with the problems of the rural Northeast versus the urban Southeast of Brazil, poverty and the dream of a better life, and, of an uneducated woman’s struggle to survive in a sexist society.
