The Urge to Splurge
28 September 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Ah, the rampant nymphomaniac, that staple ingredient of erotic fiction, sex films would be lost without her ! In this surprisingly stylish slice of Brazilian soft core, former thespian Silvio De Abreu – who would go on to achieve considerable fame as a TV soap scribe – trots out a test case by name of Regina. Literally embodied by impossibly gorgeous Helena Ramos (who likewise wound up on "telenovelas"), she finds herself continuously plagued by all too vivid sex fantasies giving way to real life trysts with just about everyone she meets and subsequently "meats" ! Sorry about that.

Naturally, taking into account the movie's cod-scientific pretenses, those sinful urges can be traced to a traumatic childhood experience. Since salsa skin flicks rarely shy away from abundant teen nudity, said trauma involves a bout of under age groping (including the brief shot of an erect and mighty tasty-looking member) at the back of church during mass with the branding of our nubile heroine as a precocious slut upon discovery, all set to Bernard Herrmann's instantly recognizable PSYCHO theme ! Through hypnosis at the hands of a sanctimonious and smitten shrink, she's miraculously cured and free to love her sappy savior. Don't you just love a happy ending ?

Corny conclusion aside, this charming carnal confection has the good sense to devote the bulk of its hefty 105 minute running time to the sight of ravishing Ramos in various stages of undress, lovingly captured by Antonio Meliande who shot Jose Mojica Marins' ultra-groovy O EXORCISMO NEGRO half a decade earlier. I guess those folks over at Disney were right. It is a small world after all !
