Second viewing (first one: September 10, 2000)
A man journeys through the interior of Minas Gerais, Brazil, leading a life of leisure, meeting women who are invariably available to his pleasure.
Reportedly it results from an project which was aborted and then morphed into something else, which may explain the visibly disjointed nature of its narrative. Its occasional inspired moments add up to a kind of audiovisual poem on hedonism, of a very Brazilian type. The score and the cinematography are good. There is no apparent connection between the first hour of the movie (to which the synopsis above refers) and its last 10 minutes, which are an adaptation of Rosa's short story "Soroco, his mother and his daughter" (but I have not read it, so this is secondhand information).
