No plot. No story. One theme. Just three people in an abandoned building talking about what makes them horny. This movie would actually be interesting if it didnt try so hard to be artistic. You cant try to make art you just do. Instead, you end being pretentious. Which is a word I use for alot of the movies released in 2003's Brasília Film Festival like this one. This movie tries so hard to be shocking and meaningful that it just ends up being funny. To give you an idea, one of the conversations in this movie (which is pretty much the only thing in the movie) feature the main actress saying she wants to be strangled by rhinoceres leather, she pauses and then screams. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the cinematography is absolutely beautiful and the only thing worthwile in long long art cult wannabe.

What the Crap does That Mean?

Two women and a man stay together in an abandoned building talking nonsense and having sex.
The pretentious "Filme de Amor" is probably the worst film I have ever seen. There is no plot, no nothing, only the short storyline above shot in color alternating with black-and-white expecting to be artistic or cult. The poor location is gruesome; the wannabe actresses and actor have terrible speech, inclusive in English, trying to shock the audience; and it is ridiculously sad to see the director Júlio Bressane responsible for such garbage. My vote is one (awful).
Title (Brazil): "Filme de Amor" ("Film of Love")
