Bilbao (1978)
5/10
A Perverted Tale of Obsession
7 February 2016
Leo (Àngel Jové) is a forty and something year-old man with obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD) that repeatedly brushes his teeth, wraps his wrists with adhesive tape and is obsessed in the dancer and prostitute Bilbao (Isabel Pisano). Leo lives in separated rooms with María (Maria Martin) and financially depends on the support of his uncle. Leo wants to possess Bilbao and follows her everywhere. One day, he cleans a derelict store and abducts Bilbao, bringing her to the spot. However, something unexpected happens with Bilbao and Leo does not know what to do.

"Bilbao" is a perverted tale of obsession by Bigas Luna with a storyline similar to "The Collector". However the film is only indicated for fans of the Spanish director that uses zoomed images, annoying music store and irritating noises. The cinematography is awful and the metaphors with milk and sausage are too obvious. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Bilbao"
