      true bewilderment

      Tell the truth! I really don't understand what the plot of this movie is, but if I take this movie apart and watch it divided into segments, I can understand it. Because it is so realistic, it makes people feel a shocking feeling! Really have to admire this actor! Picking up a crush's ragged underwear from the trash can, masturbating with gloves, drinking muddy water, etc., these are all very real, fully showing a gay life with a twisted heart. It can be said that his life is a bit out of...

      Desire account

      Action is the best way to express desire. This film does not lack these actions, nor does the protagonist's acting skills. What this film lacks is the flesh-and-blood plot that connects these actions, so in the end, it can only be reduced to a running account. There are things worth appreciating in the film, such as the quite popular provocative scenes and the nude scenes given without hesitation. These things make this account not appear contrived at all, which is not easy, at least it can...

      style with few exceptions.. a burden

      The trailer seems to be more engaging, some of the editing and music work very well, but the movie is not so enjoyable to watch. Maybe the story itself is not related to popular taste, it is a bit difficult to watch at first, the film has a There is a great sense of pessimism and loneliness. It is like a dark night, full of danger, eroticism and gloom!

      This story is about Sergio, a garbage collector, he is a homo, he has no lover, no family or friends. Only his dog keeps following...

      Sexual nightmare, frightening

      "Fantasy" is a quirky, offbeat film, not necessarily good, but particularly memorable.

      The protagonist of the film, Sergio, lives in Lisbon and is a handsome little fresh meat in his early 20s. He is a cleaner, and his daily job is to sweep the road at night, clear the garbage cans on the street and other people's unwanted waste. The streets in the middle of the night seemed desolate and silent. Sergio closed his heart, and was in the company of dirty garbage, and gradually lost his...

      This is a movie about infatuation

      I watched this movie four times before I saw it all, and there are many kinds of infatuation, this is a complete infatuation, I classify this infatuation as a complete infatuation, and 'Bulgarian Lover' is a heartbreak...

      Personally like this director's work very much, the junkyard, garbage workers and dogs are really awesome, such as confused romance + piano teacher + long live love + empty room, wild, twisted, sad, magical reality ending is super...

    Movie plot

    Outside of work, the city garbage collector Sergio (Riccardo Mericis) sniffs men around like his dog and has sex with them, either tentatively or forcibly. He loves SM and likes to orgasm in masochism when he is alone. When his female colleague Fatima (Beatriz Torcato) offers him love, he rudely refuses. The only thing that interested him was wandering the Lisbon night with his dog, fantasizing about deadly sex. One day, while...

    Evaluation action

    "The Phantom" is a blatant, visionary allegory of alienation and looting that is visually and thematically more "noir" than film noir. In this film, director João Pedro Rodrigues's serious intentions are obvious, under his lens, full of boring work scenes of city garbage collectors, lengthy illogical dialogues and surreal final half-hour - the protagonist Se The degeneration of Jergio into an inhuman being suggests the fragile...
