Baixo Gávea (1986)

Synopsis: Two friends live together; they are both working on a play about Portuguese poets of the early 20th century, one directing it and the other as an actress. Clara, the director, is having successive unsuccessful relationships with men, whereas Ana, the actress, is facing similar problems, only with women.

Appraisal: This is above average for a Brazilian film, both directorially and in terms of performances; all the same, I found it a little too insubstantial and flimsy for my taste; I guess it's not to be dismissed, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's not to be missed.

Rating: 48
