The Amorous Ones

An anguished university student in his early 30's ponders the state of his life in light of his relationships with a politicized classmate, a TV actress selling the image of a femme fatale and his bourgeois sister.

Directed by Walter Hugo Khouri, The Amorous Ones leans on a strong ensemble — Paulo José, Jacqueline Myrna, Lilian Lemmertz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1968.
