Once Upon a Time Veronica

Brazil

We follow a recently minted female psychiatrist as she frabs around in her job, her love (sex) life whilst her father, in whose house she lives, slowly dies. She is suffering from existential angst, disillusionment, fear of success...at least as conventionally described. She is beautiful, lusty, thoughtful, lost.

Intelligent character study with copious sex/nudity. We watch her deal with fundamental issues - having achieved 'success'...what then? What's the purpose of all that effort...all that work? I dunno either.

Solid film...not for the mainstream.
