Two Lost in a Dirty Night (Portuguese: '''Dois Perdidos numa Noite Suja''') is a 2002 Brazilian film directed by José Joffily. Based on the play of the same name by Plínio Marcos, it tells the story of Tonho (Roberto Bomtempo) and Paco (Débora Falabella).[3] [4] [5]

Plot

Two Lost in a Dirty Night follows two Brazilian illegal immigrants living in New York City, United States. Paco, a tomboy whose real name is Rita, is very aggressive, strange and mysterious. Antônio, nicknamed Tonho, wants to return to Brazil, because he had no success living in America. They live in a kind of loft. They met each other while Paco was acting as a male prostitute, doing a blowjob on a man (Guy Camilleri). Then, he discovers that Paco is a girl and became furious, trying later to rape her. Tonho saves her and invites her to live with him.

Production

Talking about the scene in which she appears completely naked with a gun pointed in her direction, Débora Falabella said, "What made it easier in that scene was the fact that I had to feel afraid and fragile. So being naked helped me in that composition. But of course the scene is uncomfortable, I'm not as comfortable naked as if I were dressed."[6]
