Restored “At Play in the Fields of the Lord” screens Saturday. Saturday offers the opportunity to watch a newly restored 4K print of Hector Babenco’s “At Play in the Fields of the Lord”
Saturday offers the opportunity to watch a newly restored 4K print of Hector Babenco’s “At Play in the Fields of the Lord” that he filmed in the Amazon in 1991 with Tom Berenger and Daryl Hannah in leading roles, and with the legendary Saul Zaentz producing.
Zaentz had first tried to make this film in 1965, only to find that MGM owned the rights. He kept trying to buy them up until 1989 when new studio heads Jay Kanter and Alan Ladd Jr. decided that MGM would not be making the film. Zaentz still had to pay $1.4 million for the rights.
The film screens at Estação NET Gavea on Saturday at 16.00 and again on Wednesday at Estação NET Rio at 18.45.
