O FantasmaA dark walk through the mind of the filmmakers brings us the story of Sergio (Ricardo Meneses) who is a garbage collector in Lisbon. He bounces from random sexual encounter to sexual encounter in relative silence. Along his nightly prowling, he comes across a man that he develops an obsession for, and goes to a great extent to gain information about him. 

OK, I admit it, I hated this film. I think the combination of film noir styling, dark subject matter and lack of dialogue really got to me. Furthermore, just when I had had enough nonsense, I stood up to walk out... and the movie ended. D'oh!
