Monjardim has a peculiar directing style, infusing his scenes with an oneiric quality. He is criticized by many for his slow scenes and his use of close-ups but applauded by many for his poetic sense. With the documentary Simplesmente Maysa about the singer Maysa, his mother, he won the Penedo Festival in 1979.
