Gringos haven't learned how Kleber Mendonça Filho's name works yet so its been fun seeing them refer to directors by their last name and for some reason calling him either Kleber or Filho, none of which are his last name.

Description
Painting depicting the goddess of love shivering in a harsh winter landscape, illustrating the classical saying, "Without Ceres (food) and Bacchus (wine), Venus (love) freezes". A desolate Venus, hunched for warmth, and a cold Cupid are shown amidst barren trees, with a satyr offering fruit but failing to warm them, symbolizing that love needs sustenance (food, drink, companionship) to flourish, not just passion.
