Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

After cutting ties with his seductive neighbor, a journalist records a love-hate farewell on a cassette tape for her. Frustrated journalist Paulo is ensnared by neighbor Marina, waitress and actress. She once seduced him in the elevator, and since then, she never let him go, even though she also never let go of her marriage. Trapped in work, creative block, and Marina's grip, Paulo chooses to cut ties. Drunk, he records a love-hate farewell on a cassette for her. —Roberta Ribas
