Brazilian version
The whore with a heart of gold finds a new set of trappings.
Aya Arcos / Live for the Moment (2014)
This unreviewed Brazilian film covers a lot of familiar ground.
A client falls for a hooker. Then realizes that romance may not be possible.
In the process, there is quite a bit of romance, but fate intervenes, The client is a famous writer and cannot get down and dirty. I think that is the problem.
Societal barriers and all.
This is a very good looking film. Rio, the men, the whole setup in a rainy heavily tiled street way.
There is a great walk on by some beautiful siamese kittens.
There is a second hustler, jealously messing with the two guys.
This is a nice gentle film which is good to look at and with a conventional but not heartbreaking resolution.
