Love Strange Love 1982 【PRO ⇒】

Ultimately, Love Strange Love is a film about how our adult selves are constructed from the rubble of childhood trauma. The final act—where Hugo’s childhood innocence is definitively shattered—is handled with a tragic inevitability. The film suggests that "normal" sexual development is a myth; instead, we are all haunted by the ghosts of our first desires.

Standing opposite Anna is Tamara (Xuxa Meneghel), a young, blonde, voluptuous prostitute who represents the "new guard." Tamara is playful, dangerous, and openly seductive. For young Hugo, these two women represent two diverging paths of female archetype: the Mother (sacred, inaccessible, tragic) and the Whore (profane, accessible, vital). love strange love 1982
