This Brazilian silent film has appeared in all copies of the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die so far, I'm glad I found a way to watch it. Basically, in a drifting small boat, two women (Olga Breno and Tatiana Rey) and a man (Raul Schnoor) recalls their recent past. One of the women has escaped from prison; the other has left an oppressive and unhappy marriage; and the man is in love with someone else's wife. They have no further strength or desire to live and have reached the limit of their existences, so they make little to no effort to be rescued. Their pasts are conveyed in flashbacks throughout the film. This film is considered a provocative and legendary cult classic, with impressive experimental use of cinematography, which would have been quite revolutionary at the time, and an unusual structure, a worthwhile silent classic drama. Okay!
