About Runnin' After Love
Beto, a young gigolo playboy, convinces his friends to break into a house to rape Marlene, a wealthy woman. They can not complete the mission, but the woman fall in love with Beto, who returns to become her lover. The case of the two, eventually involving the husband of Marlene, causes problems that the two can't solve.
Directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen, Runnin' After Love leans on a strong ensemble — Bibi Vogel, Wagner Montes, Jaime Barcellos — 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 thriller titles of 1978.
