original
Brazilian/Portuguese title: SADISMO ABERRACOES SAXUAIS [Sadism:
Sexual Aberration]
director: Fauzi Mansur
starring: Ana Maria Kreisler · Sergio Hingst · Kristina Keller · Arthur
Rovedeer · Jose Lucas · Fatima Maluf
After a traffic accident,
Joana looses her memory and the use of her legs. She lives alone with
her niece Martinha (now having an affair with Joana's estranged husband).
An unusual relationship develops between the two women - fueled by brutal,
sexually perverse fantasies of S&M, rape and depravity - as Joana
cannot distinguish between dream and reality. Now confined to a wheelchair,
Joana passes the day reading [and being consumed by] her tabloid newspaper
especially stories of sadism, sexual assault, abduction and cannibalism..
All this dread and trepidation soon leads Joana to the breaking point.
Please note: While this is
an exceptionally smart horror film with a psychological narrative [think
REPULSION],
it is also very rough, far beyond traditional R-Rated fare.
Genre horror fans
will certainly recognize the name of director Fauzi Mansur. Back in the
late '90s he was responsible for a pair of ultra gory shockers that enjoyed
International notoriety, SATANIC
ATTRACTION and RITUAL
OF DEATH. But prior to those two films, Mr Mansur had an impressive
run of sex/grindhouse movies in Brazil. This was one of his most famous,
seen throughout South American (but never distributed in the USA). He
began his career in 1968 as a film editor [winning the prestigious São
Paulo Art Critics Awards in 1972]. As a director, Fauzi Mansur helmed
50+ movies, sometimes delving into Hardcore under the pseudonym Vitor
Triumfo.
Ana Maria Kreisler,
playing Joana here, made REINCARNATION
OF SEX the previous year.
