This is a Portuguese movie that delivers less than it promises. There are some hot scenes, but nothing that relevant. The story is, in fact, a small number of stories that, by chance, has a common character. And just one of those stories is relevant.
I never read the book but I am sure it is a lot better than the movie. I just added it to my queue of books to read. In two or three years I might get to it. With luck.
Now, talking about quality, I can’t understand how a recent movie (2005 is not that old) has such bad audio recording. The authors do not know how to speak, or the technicians do not know how to record. But this seems a major problem on lot of Portuguese productions. Very bad, indeed…
