Viva Maria! - Cast

Cast

ith Viva Maria!, which aims at being little more than a fancifully photographed tale of two turn-of-the-century dance-hall girls who cheer up a Latin American revolution, Moreau saw a chance of expressing one of her firmest beliefs. 'Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women,' she says. 'Men like to think that women must be constantly jealous of each other, never trusting, never in rapport. That is not true, of course, certainly not today. This film could show that.'

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    What is the use of “good” painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 8:12.

    Referring to “the children of the kingdom ... cast out into outer darkness.” The words are also used in the parable of the talents, in Matthew 25:30, said of the “unprofitable servant.”

    We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
