Film for Blind Poet
Filme para poeta cego
Glauco Mattoso, a blind sadomasochistic poet, agrees to participate in a documentary about his own life, but the conditions he imposes raise difficulties for the work of the young director. In an ambiguous way the film reveals the fine line between high literature and fag-end vulgarity.
