A History of Mutual Respect (S)
2010 · Movie · 23 min. · Portugal
Golden Leopard winner of LOCARNO 2010 and Best Portuguese Short Film Award at INDIELISBOA 2010, "A History of Mutual Respect" is a philosophical and sensual existential journey, "an unclassifiable eccentric and political film, reminding of the most daring works of Glauber Rocha. The 2 protagonists (played by the 2 authors) go to Latin America in search of third-world exotism and of a “pure” and “clean” sexuality. During this metaphorical journey, an universe of lost innocence and disenchantment takes shape, where no revolutionary or humanist utopia is allowed. The Western European heros’ cynicism mirrors the phantasm of wealth and comfort of the beautiful Brazilian girl they meet and try to seduce in the jungle."
