Synopsis |
| Argentinean
author Manuel Puig left his native
country after being persecuted for
his homosexuality, and settled in
exile in Rio de Janeiro. Puig's
experiences in the Brazilian city
are chronicled in Javier Torre's
biopic VEREDA TROPICAL. While there,
Puig was more or less able to live
and express his sexuality freely,
even going as far as to have a
secret tryst with a famous diplomat.
The tribulations and joys of Puig's
life, from his love affairs to his
work, including his difficulties
with the theatrical and film
adaptations of his well-known KISS
OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, are examined.
VEREDA TROPICAL won awards for best
director and best actor at the
Gramado Film Festival, dedicated to
Brazilian and Latin American films. |
