Can anyone explain this scene?
After Thereza finds she is able to walk again, she says she will get a job in the chorus. Six months later, we see a bunch of people milling about during the performance. A woman, who I took to be Thereza, flirts with one man, who is unresponsive, but succeeds in picking up another. But then we see that Thereza was in the chorus that was performing at that time. I went back to look at the woman in that scene, and she does seem to have a slightly different look from Claire Bloom, though I admit to not being good with faces. But then I have to wonder what the purpose of the scene was, and why they picked an actress who looked a lot like Bloom. Because prostitution was mentioned earlier regarding Thereza's sister, I wondered about that connection. Does anyone know the purpose of that scene?
