Walter Hugo Khouri号称是巴西电影界的伯格曼，〈空洞的夜〉（1964）〈燃烧的躯体〉（1966）和〈好色之徒〉（1968）是他的人性三部曲，在他的影片中充满着存在主义的疑问、角色复杂内心的独白和现代主义的电影语言。 I think that Walter Hugo Khouri was inspired by Antonioni's "Deserto Rosso", when he made "Corpo Ardente". There's the same bleak landscape. And the photography is a mystery to me - it is a black & white with shades of color, or rather a color film transmuted into black & white. The landscape seems to dissolve into a shining white and the black horse running free serves as a counterpoint. Antonioni's "Deserto Rosso" is a powerful study about the shattered life of a woman (Monica Vitti), but "Corpo Ardente" sinks into nothingness in spite of its beautiful images and its several symbols. Visually speaking "Corpo Ardente" is a beautiful film. And the naiveté of its symbols is charming. (from imdb comment)
