Highly Overrated But Still Good

Good concept, poorly executed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This omnibus movie offers three very sexy and enjoyable tales of the erotic. First and most saucy segment: Loose and uninhibited Maria Helena (the luscious Patricia Scalvi) tries to persuade her frumpy, yet attractive best gal pal Bia (nicely played by the pretty Maristela Moreno) to engage in a torrid lesbian fling with her. Naturally, this story offers plenty of tasty girl-girl action and an amusingly ironic surprise ending. Second and most witty vignette - Handsome and wealthy socialite Romano (a smooth performance by David Cardoso) makes the horny and eager Ilona (lovely Matilde Mastrangi) patiently wait to make love to him. This yarn positively crackles with considerable sexual tension, culminates in a highly charged and arousing major sex scene set piece, and has a cool central message about the pleasure of virtue. Third and most serious anecdote: Lusty, but controlling and dominating rich blind lass Diana (an excellent portrayal by the stunning Zelia Diniz) makes hunky stud Marcos (likable Arthur Roveder) a sexual hostage in her swanky mansion home. This particular tale not only comes through with oodles of torrid lovemaking, but also further benefits from a wickedly brash sense of humor (Diana gets pleasured by a grasshopper in one absolutely hysterical scene!) and concludes with a genuinely startling and unexpectedly gory and violent climax. Writers/directors David Cardoso, John Doo, and Luiz Castellini deal with human sexuality in an extremely frank and explicit manner, but thankfully manage to keep things pretty tasteful and spice things up with welcome touches of inspired bawdy humor. Moreover, all the women featured throughout are insanely hot all natural honeys with positively no hang ups about baring their fine bodies with pleasing regularity. Ronaldo Lark's bouncy and harmonic score keeps things bubbling along. Claudio Portioli's cinematography vividly captures all the smoldering carnal activity. Entertaining naughty fun.
