About me / Bio:
Walter Hugo Khouri was a Brazilian filmmaker of Lebanese and Italian descent. He started his career as a technician at the Vera Cruz Film Company, where he worked on the production of "O Cangaceiro" (1953), a landmark of Brazilian cinema. He made his directorial debut with "Strange Encounter" (1958), a psychological drama influenced by Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni. He gained international recognition with "Men and Women" (1964), a film that explored the existential angst of a middle-aged man in São Paulo. The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and is considered one of the best Brazilian films of all time. Khouri continued to explore themes of sexuality, alienation, and death in his subsequent films, such as "The Amorous Ones" (1968), "The Last Rapture" (1973), "The Desire" (1975), and "Love Strange Love" (1982). He was also known for introducing young talents, such as the presenter Xuxa Meneghel, who made her controversial debut in "Love Strange Love". Khouri made 25 feature films in his career and won several national and international awards. He died of a heart attack in 2003, at the age of 73.
