It's fair to say that "The Suicide Squad" is probably going to go down as Daniela Melchior's biggest movie of 2021. However, she had a number of roles last year, as well, in projects that also debuted amid the COVID-19 pandemic. One such project was "The Black Book of Father Dinis," a period piece set in 18th century Europe that follows a maid as she navigates a series of conspiracies and romantic conquests across locales such as Rome and Venice. Based on the novel of the same name by Camilo Castelo Branco, the film features Melchior in the supporting role of La Fille.
Directed by Valeria Sarmiento, "The Black Book of Father Dinis" also stars Lou de Laâge, Stanislas Merhar, Niels Schneider, Jenna Thiam, and several other European actors. The film was released in December 2020. Currently it holds an 86% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (with a total of 7 critical reviews).
Those are some of the places you may have seen Daniela Melchior before. Now, with the debut of "The Suicide Squad," she's gearing up to fully enter the mainstream and find an entirely new audience for herself. With that in mind, fans will have to wait and see what she does next.
