Trivia
Júlia Lemmertz said that doing a 20-minute sex scene with her husband Alexandre Borges was not as easy as it seemed. "That seems like a very easy thing, because we are married, but, in fact, it was all very well thought out, to see where the leg goes, where it fits in", she explains. "The cool thing is that at the time they thought it was explicit sex and we thought it was great that they thought so," she adds.

I saw A Glass of Rage!

Somewhere between Sartre and Buñuel, and an oblique approach of George Gilder's model of inter-gender relations, lies Aloísio Abranches' A Glass of Rage (Um Copo de Cólera). More of an existential debate than a film, the story is basically a savage tete-e-tete between a pair of lovers on an isolated rabbit ranch after an extended (and nearly explicit) night of sex, punctuated by aside comments by the man to the audience. After seeing the film this evening, most of the film festival audience gathered in the lobby collectively scratching their heads trying to make sense of it. I imagine much of the subtlety of the dialog may be lost in the English subtitles. Not an experience I will soon forget, but also not one safe from ridicule. Recommended for hardcore fans of the abstract, verbose, and existential only!
