Review of Pornô!

Brazilian 70's-to-80's sexploitation comedy subgenre called Pornochanchada used to have films with titles that were even more exploiting than the movies themselves. However, the so direct, explicit and unimaginative title of this one was not an exaggeration, at least for the first segment. The feature film is divided in three independent segments, and the first and worst of them has a script that seriously is identical to the plots of generic pornographic productions. The second segment is not good either, but is at least more sophisticated (and weird): until the (not that innovative) intentions be unveiled, there is kind of a suspense interwined with naked bodies. Things become much more interesting, innovative, artistic, and bizarre in the last segment, "The cricket", directed by John Doo. Pace is not always the best, but that home situation is near surreal, the supernatural element is quite nice, and the horror end is the best of all in the whole movie. Considering full film with all the three segments, it is a very irregular production from Boca do Lixo, becoming better as it advances. However, it has watchable sofcore scenes throughout it, certainly including the silly first segment. I give the movie three stars. Taking each segment separatedly, these would be the rates: 1st: As gazelas (Gazelles), directed by Luiz Castellini - Rate4 2nd: O prazer da virtude (Pleasure of virtue), directed by David Cardoso - Rate5 3rd: O Gafanhoto (The cricket), directed by John Doo - Rate7.
