By night, he embarks on an increasingly intense odyssey of random, anonymous sexual encounters. Quickly, Sergio becomes fixated on a hot, young stranger and begins to retreat further and further into his dark dream life, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, love and obsession.   Editor's Note Sergio (Ricardo Meneses) is a brooding, lonely man who works as a trash collector in Lisbon by day and roams the city streets by night seeking rough, anonymous sex with men in the city's darkest, dirtiest corners. Sergio is alienated from life--he has no friends or family, and even his sexual encounters fail to engage him or satisfy his desires. One night he meets an attractive man who seems to be the embodiment of his tormented fantasies, and he becomes obsessed with the stranger until loneliness and unfulfilled desire propel him finally into a dark and dangerous animalistic state. Portuguese director Joao Pedro Rodrigues has crafted a haunting, feverish study of the alienation and despair that permeate modern urban life, and the profound devastation that solitude and repressed sexuality can inflict on the psyche.   Features Anamorphic Widescreen Audio: Portuguese Dolby Stereo Subtitles: English Original Uncut Version Trailers Interactive Menus Scene Selection Ricardo Meneses Screen Test Wardrobe Fittings Audio Commentaries By: Director, Art Director, Director Of Photography   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Wolfe Video Release Date: 11/4/2003 Running Time: 90 minutes Original Release Date: 2000 Catalog ID: 3855D UPC: 00667443525141 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: Portuguese Available Audio Tracks: Portuguese Available Subtitles: English Video: Color Aspect Ratio 1.85:1   Cast & Crew Andre Barbosa Beatriz Torcato Eurico Vieira Ricardo Meneses Rui Pocas - Cinematographer Joao Pedro Rodrigues - Director Joao Pedro Rodrigues - Editor Paula Rebelo - Editor Amandio Coroado - Producer Alexandre Melo, et al - Screenplay    Product Image

This movie is violent and depraved and really cool. The isolation and meaninglessness of Sergio's life as a Lisbon garbage collector drives him to look meaning in weird sex, and a new identity. He becomes an animal in latex, he is The Phantom.
