Director tried something different, the outcome is just weird

Overacting, colourful, fragrant lights, theater-like sets, dissonant drummy soundtrack, modern creepy dance with almost nude bodies, lack of linearity, unusual frames. Quite weird experimental adaptation of a Nelson Rodrigues play. Seeks more sensations than storytelling. Shows archetypes avoiding any realism. In my opinion, not a good experience, unsuccessful aesthetic outcome. It is more theater than cinema, without the advantages of both arts. There are some excellent actors and actresses, but the film is just bizarre.
