"The Unbelievable Truth" is a very low-budget romantic black comedy and the debut of Hal Hartley. The film is weird but entertaining, and in the 90's, when was released on VHS in Brazil, was funnier and better. Revisiting now, it is dated but also worthwhile watching. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Uma Relação Muito Perigosa" ("A Very Dangerous Relationship")
