Do Começo ao Fim (2009)
Lacks any sort of tension, but aces in dealing with a difficult subject

The movie tackles with straight-forward candidness the biggest taboo of western societies: the incest. To top it all off, the relationship happens between two brothers. The movie struck me as extremely poetic, with great cinematography and a LOT of chemistry between the main actors. The love scenes will make you gasp with their intensity and sense of poetry, but the film lacks any real reason d'être.
The main subject in hand, with all of it's richness and subtleties, gets pushed to the side, while some other less interesting plot takes on from half the movie onwards.
I did enjoy the film quite a bit, especially for the ease with which it talks about a very taboo subject.
Oh, and I must mention the main actors are, naturally, extremely hot.
