Amor & Cia. (1998)

English title: Love and Co.

Based on the novella Alves & Companhia, by Eça de Queirós (1st ed. 1925).

A man returns home a little earlier than usual one day and finds his wife and his business partner sitting close to each other in an amorous way.

This tale of quasi-adultery is an interesting comedy of customs. It benefits from a great leading performance and also from being filmed in a historical town, and from nicely staged outdoor sequences.

Rating: 60
