Nunca Te Vi, Sempre Te Amei
The Print Buyer
Uma história de amor e gosto pelos livros, Nunca Te Vi, Sempre Te Amei apresenta os ganhadores do Oscar Anne Bancroft e Anthony Hopkins atuando de forma excepcional. Helen Hanff (Bancroft), uma escritora mal-humorada, envia uma carta a uma pequena livraria de Londres, solicitando algumas obras Inglesas clássicas raras. Frank Doel (Hopkins), o discreto vendedor inglês de livros, atende a seu pedido, iniciando uma troca de cartas comovente e graciosa entre dois continentes por duas décadas. A aspereza de Hanff contrasta com o comportamento pomposo britânico de Doel, mas o amor mútuo aos livros forma entre eles um elo que se intensifica com o passar dos anos. Suas cartas íntimas e altamente detalhadas descrevendo seus sonhos, esperanças, sofrimentos e alegrias nos faz mergulhar no universo de suas vidas, e eles acabam desenvolvendo uma amizade notável e duradoura.
