Um Céu de Estrelas (1996)

English title: A Starry Sky.

Synopsis: A guy visits his ex-fiancée allegedly in order to return some of her things; she broke up with him and is about to go on a trip. The tension between the two of them mounts into violence, triggered by the hostile attitude of the woman's mother.

Appraisal: I suppose this is intended as a slice of proletarian life, yet instead of that we see behavioral absurdities displayed in a quick succession, and poorly staged too. For fairness' sake, I must say that there is a well enacted sex scene in it.

Rating: 10
