Sem Amor, Terciero.

Rio, I Love You (Portuguese: Rio, Eu Te Amo) (2014) Directors: Vicente Amorim, Guillermo Arriaga, Stephan Elliott, Im Sang-soo, Nadine Labaki, Fernando Meirelles, José Padilha, Carlos Saldanha, Paolo Sorrentino, John Turturro, Andrucha Waddington Watched: 8/22/18 Rating: 5/10

Ten Stories Plus segues. Lacks transitions- Where does one end and the next one begin? Where is the crime, murder, and poverty? Flawed/incomplete Portrayal. Soundtrack Fun, With Lovely Aerial Scenery shots; "The Muse", "Texas", "Useless Landscape" stand out. Another "Cities of Love" installment- First, second, third: Bon, good, mau- Glaring Gap.

Tetractys poems stem from the mathematician Euclid, who considered the number series 1, 2, 3, 4 to have a mystical significance because of its sum of 10. He named it a Tetractys. Thus, these poems follow a 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllable format, with additional verses written in an inverted syllable count. #Tetractys #QuadrupleTetractys #PoemReview #Anthology #Brazilian #RomanticComedy
