Under-Rated
19 December 2010 | by (Portugal) – See all my reviews

I consider this movie one of the best movies i've seen.. why? simply because it show's you reality of women and man in their relationships.. 2 kinds of feelings: loving too much that blinds and doesn't let you breed. And you have the game lust that can always be dangerous, because like she though she had control, but that's a game played with someone else that has his own feelings, and the game can lead to tragic endings. The main cast give good performances, specially Brigette Bako , very sensual,innocent and lost. Amazing Original soundtrack that add's loads of atmosphere on the scenes.. A must see to every man and woman! A cult movie if i may say so.
