Brazilian directorial duo Beto Brant and Renato Ciasca's second adaptation of the Marcal Aquino novel, after 2002 Sundance title "The Trespasser," is again more significant because of its atmosphere -- here, remarkably sticky and hot-to-trot -- compared to flashback-laden narrative, which, between energetic sexual workout routines, handles to become excessively symbolical and soapy. Beyond Lusophone areas, latenight fest and television showings (ideally viewed in seedy hotels in exotic locales) would be the pic's best bets. Within an Amazonian nowheresville, a beyond-beautiful lady, Livinia (Camila Pitanga), is married to some bookish preacher (Zecarlos Machado) for reasons only progressively revealed. Her spiritual well-being assured, it's her libido that requires taking care of enter a handsome digital photographer (Gustavo Machado) prepared to lend the proverbial hands. Very steamy extramarital nookie develops early and frequently, with Livinia too clearly torn between the requirements of body and soul. Sex scenes' roving camerawork and saturated colors -- think flamingo-pink skies -- contrast using the more static, flatly lit and milky hued flashbacks and moments of preaching. Acting's around the money.Camera (color), Lula Araujo editor, Willem Dias music, Simone Sou, Alfredo Bello production designer, Akira Goto. Examined on DVD, Rio p Janeiro, March. 18, 2011.
