When they grew up, their flirtations only drew them closer: António married Camila, with whom José, the Blue Bull, had always been in love. And António has Vanessa as his mistress, and she and José are partners in a shady business. But the devil never sleeps, and things go badly for the maid who tries to turn them away from the path of ill luck and disaster. These four lives crossed by fate will end up in the flames of hell. -- © 2002 Madragoa Films [More]

The philosophical musings of the dialogue jar against the tawdry soap opera antics of the film's action in a way that is surprisingly enjoyable.

Seeing as the film lacks momentum and its position remains mostly undeterminable, the director's experiment is a successful one.

Though excessively tiresome, The Uncertainty Principle, as verbally pretentious as the title may be, has its handful of redeeming features, as long as you discount its ability to bore.
