La educación sentimental se centra en la relación única entre Áurea, una solitaria maestra de 40 años, y un joven al que acaba de conocer por casualidad, uno de esos encuentros en los que abundan la mitología y la literatura. Un alma delicada que se siente atraída por una belleza que parece exigirla, molestarla y conmoverla. Eso la sacude por completo. Durante los días posteriores a su primera conversación, ella expondrá todos sus sentimientos a través de clases en las que él se dejará llevar. Hasta que un episodio inusual del pasado se revela y cambia todo.
Bressane's second London film, shot in six days in his apartment. "I had seen the French avant-garde films of the 1920's and naturally the title cites Breton. But underneath it can also be read in many ways. It is a cinema that is invented on the spur of the moment, like you invent an instrument to play music and then abandon it. This film came out like an improvisation, a total risk. It is a deconstruction of meaning but not in the analytical, intellectual sense. I have always tried to lose myself with my films. There is no trace of American or French underground cinema. If anything, it is the idea of home movies, there were many ideas for digital films long before digital film existed. This film made itself, it was like a jazz improvisation. Amor Louco is a lost object, it doesn't speak any language, it has no signs, no letters, no captions. And in the scene where the cataract is cut with the razor blade, it was the adventure of the film itself that was put to the test".
