- TriviaIsabel Pisano had some problems with the scene in which Àngel Jové's character shaves her pubis. Pisano was warned about the sequence and that Bigas Luna would not accept any double, and the actress simply demanded that only the cameraman and the director be present at that moment. "I had to explain to her," said Bigas, "that a good part of the crew, especially the electricians, had been hired for four bucks and that if they had accepted it was because they knew that this sequence existed. She understood it perfectly and didn't put any problem."

Featured review
Leo (Àngel Jové) is a forty and something year-old man with obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD) that repeatedly brushes his teeth, wraps his wrists with adhesive tape and is obsessed in the dancer and prostitute Bilbao (Isabel Pisano). Leo lives in separated rooms with María (Maria Martin) and financially depends on the support of his uncle. Leo wants to possess Bilbao and follows her everywhere. One day, he cleans a derelict store and abducts Bilbao, bringing her to the spot. However, something unexpected happens with Bilbao and Leo does not know what to do.
"Bilbao" is a perverted tale of obsession by Bigas Luna with a storyline similar to "The Collector". However the film is only indicated for fans of the Spanish director that uses zoomed images, annoying music store and irritating noises. The cinematography is awful and the metaphors with milk and sausage are too obvious. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Bilbao"
