I didn't love Odete, which was released as Two Drifters in the U.S. (where they wanted to market it to gay audiences. I think the reason I didn't love Odete – although I love João Pedro Rodrigues – is mostly because Odete herself is a total nutjob. Rodrigues's film is about loss and lack, and the young man at the center has lost the man he loves, but the young woman at the center is missing something more existential. I don't know. I was into this for a while, but Odete really started to get on my nerves, and then the ending was really just not for me.
