Cama de Gato (2002)

English Title: Cat's Cradle.
Synopsis: Three guys rape a girl and things spiral into even bigger tragedy.
Appraisal: The plot is moronic. The dialogue, well, here's a representative example -- a mother speaking to her son: "I know it is hard to get rid of your Oedipus complex." -- she wasn't joking and neither am I. The camerawork is also poor. The whole thing is embedded in a pretentious framework of interviews. The acting is not bad -- two of the guys are very good, the third one is not as good but does his job well enough (figure out by yourself who is who) -- they save the film from receiving a zero rating.
Rating: 12
