REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Sept. 9, 1999
Equal time is given to male and female perspectives in this take on modern Brazilian love. A romantic comedy, Little Book of Love looks at the stages of a couple's affair and divides them into alphabetically arranged scenes. Quickly edited scenes are mixed with documentary stylings to present a fresh study of courtship.
