Too much emphasis on author's sex life, 7 October 2004
7/10
Author: A Verdade from Rio de Janeiro, BR

This supposed biography of the famous Argentine writer's last years is flawed and confusing. The film deals with the author's last years in exile in Rio, but with a heavy hand on his sex life. While that may be one of a person's most defining aspects, anyone (and many did) who accompanied his life and work here in Rio, knows the film does not do justice to his life; it does not make sense. This was where KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, just to name one play, first became a hit, and later made into a movie (also here in Brazil, though with American English dialog).

One wonders how the author depicted in this film could be the same one who wrote wonderful plays, and socially was pretty much a recluse here, until his death. This view, by the way, has been echoed by the critics who have seen it here at the Rio Film Festival, as part of the Gay World Sidebar. The film itself is not too bad, but the facts aren't straight (pardon the pun).
