"Throwback Thursday" Take 2! From Guest Contributor, Liliana

Hi Diogo Morgado Fans! Liliana here! (@MsLiliana -- the Portuguese girl, Lol) It’s a pleasure to contribute to this awesome Blog! My big thank you to Sara for inviting me to do this "Throwback Thursday" I hope you all enjoy it! 

Today's film features Diogo playing a gay character.....  Say what??

Okay, keep calm, I’ll explain…


“O Crime do Padre Amaro" ("The Crime of Amaro, the Priest") is a 2005 Portuguese film directed by Carlos Coelho da Silva, adapted from the book of the same name written in 1875 by Eça de Queiroz. 

This film broke all box office records of Portuguese films in Portugal. It moves the setting from the book in the city of Leiria in 1875, to Lisbon in 2005, full of problems and socio-cultural marginalization. 

Amaro (Jorge Corrula) is a young priest, fresh out of the seminary, who comes to Lisbon replace a deceased priest. The young Amaro knows Amelia (Soraia Chaves), a young sensual and seductive girl, which causes the priest feelings never before experienced. Amaro does everything to resist the temptation, but Amelia does not give up. Can a man of God overcome this carnal desire?

And where does Diogo fit in to all of this?



In the movie, Diogo plays "Libaninho," and Rui Unas plays "Alex," a gay couple (and hairdressers!) who live near and become enchanted with their new priest, Amaro.
