The true story of "Elize: Shadows of a Woman", the new Netflix film about a wife who dismembered her husband

Netflix released the psychological thriller 'Elize: Sombras de una mujer' based on the true story of Elize Matsunaga, who was convicted of murdering and dismembering her husband, Marcos Matsunaga, in 2012. The film, directed by Felipe Vellas and written by Raphael Montes and Mariana Torres, dramatizes the relationship between the couple and the events leading up to the crime. It follows the case previously covered in the documentary series 'Elize Matsunaga: Érase una vez un crimen,' but shifts focus to the evolution of their relationship and circumstances before the murder. The film stars Lorena Comparato as Elize and Henrique Kimura as Marcos, with supporting roles by other Brazilian actors. The story details Elize's difficult upbringing, including alleged abuse by her stepfather, and her transition into a life of luxury with Marcos before their relationship deteriorated. Elize suspected Marcos of having an extramarital affair and hired a private investigator, which led to the discovery of his relationship with another woman.
