Cidade Baixa (Lower City)

Walter Salles produced Sérgio Machado's steamy drama about a Ménage à trois in Cidade Baixa. Lifelong friends Deco and Naldinho pick up exotic dancer Karinna for a ride in their boat where both men fall in love with her. Karinna's inability to chose one of the men threatens to destroy their friendship and lives. Powerful performances and stunning cinematography are the highlights of this exciting film from Brazil under assured direction of Machado. Alice Braga (City of God, Redbelt & Blindness) delivers her best performance in this film. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
