This movie is like "Eyes Wide Shut" in its subject matter -- a trip through a sexually charged, night-time, urban landscape. The film is intense and beautiful and hot for its first sixty minutes. It weakens quite a bit after that, probably because like Lynch in "Lost Highway", Rodrigues just isn't sure where the film should go after reaching its climax. Consequently the last half hour is slow and strange and sometimes laughable but overall it is definitely a film worth seeing.
