Love Strange Love is perhaps most infamous for its casting. The young boy is played by Marcelo Ribeiro , who was 12 years old at the time of filming. He appears in several sexually charged scenes, including a long sequence where he is nude and caressed by Vera Fischer (then 30). Brazilian law and public sentiment were outraged.
