Pequeno Dicionario Amoroso Synopsis & Summary

In this Brazilian romantic comedy-drama, set in Rio, Luiza (Andrea Beltrao) meets researcher Gabriel (Daniel Dantas), who is involved in an unpleasant divorce. Although the two immediately hit it off, they soon encounter predictable problems. The title refers to the fact that the movie has been scripted into sequences arranged alphabetically, such as "R" for Revenge, while another gimmick has the film's main characters giving marital advice directly into the camera. Shown at 1997 film festivals (Vancouver, Sundance). - Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
