Once a while I usually revisit the work of the contentious writer Nelson Rodrigues, always expecting spicy stories from the fertile imagination of the poet of sin, in Os Sete Gatinhos he was the co-producer, whoever is about to watch Nelson Rodrigues ought to bearing in mind that he portraited what he saw thru the years as journalist on Rio de Janeiro covering countless freakish cases whereby he withdraw and turned it into several plays addressed to theatres, of course Nelson overdid it in their own manner.
Here Nelson Rodrigues exposes a life of low public servant Noronha (Lima Duarte) living at Rio de Janeiro's suburban with his fatty wife and five daughters, four of them are already adults and have been sailing their bodies for money, such facts are unnoticed by Noronha, when he finally figures out that all daughters are actually bit.ches he enters in panic, worst his underage girl is pregnant by a married man, then Noronha tries wondering who are the perpetrator of such misery, he sees thru a mirror an unknown man which cries for one eye only, aftermaths he looking for this man.
Fed up he throws it all up, dropped his job and hereinafter starts selling their own daughter for whom can pay, becoming his house in a whorehouse, however the unexpected came up faster he ever imagined when Bibelô (Antonio Fagundes) a kind of womanizer guy reaches there, in fact he was the guy that got pregnancy his underage daughter, then he supposes that Bibelô is unknown man who ruined his sacred home, thus a revenge is coming...
We can face it as sexploitation of Brazilian cinema, although won't exactly as many others whatsoever, it has many things underneath, the cunning director Neville de Almeida was a upper-class filmmaker, to improve it many gorgeous actress were casting as Ana Maria Magalhães, Sura Berditchevisky, Sonia Dias, Cristina Aché and the upcoming star Regina Casé as the most foul-mouthed Noronha's daughter, also his busty sassy wife Thelma Reston, moreover funniest characters as the crooked doctor Bordalo played by Claudio Correia e Castro and the harmful per.vert Saul (Sadi Cabral) should be funny if it wasn't tragic!!
Thanks for reading.
