User Reviews

Kitsch

The movie is awful. The Rio of January shown in him does not exist, it is a stylized and kitsch vision.

The dialogs in Portuguese are so badly written what seems that the script was written in Spanish and then translated in an automatic translator. With the exception of Silvia Buarque, all the Brazilian actors are amateur, and they have the worst acting.

There is nothing of interesting one in the history. What we see is only a homosexual without any auto-esteem falling in love for any man who appears in his front.

Manuel Puig was deserving to be shown better.
