No discussion of Love Strange Love is complete without addressing the elephant in the room. The film features a brief, non-sexual role by a young Xuxa Meneghel, who would go on to become the highest-paid female TV host in Latin America and the "Queen of Children’s Television." In this film, Xuxa appears as a prostitute named Tamara. Because of the film’s heavy erotic themes and the fact that she was 17 during filming (legal in Brazil at the time), the movie has been mired in controversy. Xuxa herself has spent decades trying to suppress the film.

Story and structure

The set design—a sprawling house filled with velvet, mirrors, and shadows—creates a claustrophobic yet dreamlike atmosphere. The English dub adds to this surreal quality. While dubs often distance the viewer from the actor's performance, the somewhat detached, breathy voice acting in the English version oddly complements the film’s theme of memory and alienation.

Hugo arrives as a naive, innocent child. But the house is a gilded cage of silk sheets, champagne, and desperate women. Trapped in this labyrinth of adult desire, Hugo becomes the object of intense fascination for the ladies of the house. The film charts his psychological awakening as he drifts between the affection of Anna (Íris Bruzzi), a kind-hearted prostitute, and the sinister, possessive grasp of his own grandmother. The "love" in question is strange indeed—a cocktail of maternal longing, sexual awakening, and cold manipulation.
