5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Sex Education, May 9, 2008

By 

Sir Hatton "Chris" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love Strange Love (DVD)

Almost every young man fantasizes of living in a brothel where beautiful women fulfill his curiosity about sex. In this case, a 12-year-old gets the opportunity of a lifetime. The movie starts with the visit of an older man at a mansion where he goes through a series of flashbacks during his tour of the building. Since there is no plot synopsis, the following description is from the DVD cover.
*Set in Brazil, Hugo is sent by his grandmother to live with his mother in a high-class brothel catering to wealthy politicians. The resident girls find young Hugo a refreshing change to the older men they are used to. They flirt with him and attempt to seduce him while his mother tries to protect his innocence. Hugo is flattered by the attention and in his curiosity finds ways to spy on the girls while they are entertaining their clients.
*The boy who portrays Hugo performed well in a very difficult role. Warning: there is a lengthy incest scene at the end of the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Through the eyes of a child, April 21, 2009

This review is from: Love Strange Love [VHS] (VHS Tape)

An unusual, but quite an interesting film to watch. Certainly one of those rare 'coming of age' stories shown in films that are really worth watching. A story about a man, recollecting days of past, when he was a preteen, recollecting the days when he was introduced to the word 'Sexuality'. A very unique film, but quite impressive. The role played by the boy as 'Hugo' is definately worth watching. A film of memories and moments. Watch it for yourself, you will not be dissapointed. Watch a film through the eyes of a little boy. Definately worth watching.
