João César Monteiro directs and plays the protagonist in Comedia de Deus. João is a well dressed, studious old bachelor who works at an ice cream parlor, making such fabulous concoction as Paraíso & others. He only hires beautiful young girls to work there, emphasizing on maintaining impeccable personal hygiene. We get to learn his weird sexual kinks these girls supply him with. He collects girl's pubes with special notes in a handsome bound book named "Book of Thoughts". He gives a milk bath to a girl w/ the intention of making ice cream out of that tub of milk. The thing is, with long, intriguing face, João is not in the least creepy. There are many other funny in-jokes in the film- especially the João's hilarious, long winded speech at the possible joint venture celebration with a French businessman whose name is Antoine Doinel. God's Comedy is an offbeat, often funny film and it showcases the director's unique comedic style. #comediadedeus #portuguesecinema #JoãoCésarMonteiro
