Name: Gamal, O Delírio do Sexo
Genre: Drama
Duration: 1 h 20 min
Rating: 4.6
Cast: Joana Fomm, Paulo César Peréio, Lorival Pariz

A journalist, Jorge (Paulo César Pereio), who is obsessed to have sex with Luiza (Joanna Fomm), ends mad and repairing chairs in the slums. Meanwhile, a primitive man, Gamal, inverts position and becomes socialized and also obsessed for Luiza.

This movie, produced by the Brazilian "Boca do Lixo" ("Garbage Mouth"), seems to have no screenplay. Probably the director was having an acid trip, common in the 70's, while shooting this garbage, so senseless it is. There is no development of the characters or weird situations. There are only four lines: "- Jorge."; "- Luiza."; "- Está todo mundo louco (twice)" (meaning  Everybody is crazy.); and "- Sai p'ra lá, crioulo." (meaning  "Move, Negro."). The annoying soundtrack, indeed a sharp cacophony, completes this irritating crap. My vote is one (since IMDb does not offer zero).
