A Noite das Taras II

(1) "Solo de Violino" ("Violin Solo")

In São Paulo, the bank clerk Rodrigo (Ênio Gonçalves) is an aspirant violinist with deep psychological problems and a serial-killer of prostitutes that lives with his unpleasant and dominating mother Débora (Wanda Cosmo). When Rodrigo was a child, he had witnessed the abusive and humiliating treatment of his mother to his father, who was a professional violinist that played in cheap bars. When Rodrigo meets his next door neighbor in a bus, she discloses that she is in love with his music and him. But Rodrigo has difficulties to control his killing impulses.

Directed by Ody Fraga, this melancholic psychological drama has good story, performances and cinematography but with a disappointing open conclusion. My vote is six.

(2) "A Guerra da Malvina" ("The Malvina War")

Four female thieves led by Malvina (Matilde Mastrangi) break in the house of the porn star David Cardoso to rob money and jewelry, but they end having sex with the actor.

Directed by Cláudio Portiolli, this silly episode is only a vehicle to promote the narcissism of David Cardoso. The title is a joke with the Malvinas War between Argentina and United Kingdom. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Noite das Taras No. 2" ("The Night of the Perversions No. 2")
