Review of My Hindu Friend: Is a very strange film

Starring Willem Dafoe, Maria Fernanda Candido Directed by Hector Babenco Rating: **(2 stars) Brazil’s most celebrated filmmaker Hector Babenco passed away in 2016. This film chronicling his last years as he battled cancer and the ensuing self-questionings, originally released in 2015, has now been re-released across the world. I wonder if My Hindu Friend (original title Meu Amigo Hindu) serves any purpose besides reminding us of how tactile, erotic and ruthless Hector Babenco’s cinema was when it came to putting its protagonist for moral-spiritual scrutiny.
