(Sex & Beethoven, the Return)
(35 mm, 16 min, color, 1997)
|
Two straight guys (but not that straight)
invite two naïve prostitutes (but not that naïve) for a night
of sex. In the preliminary conversation, some poetry, some philosophy and
heavy doses of vulgarity, all with Beethoven playing in the background.
But when it is time for sex, the truth comes up.

Reviews
"Sex & Beethoven - The Reunion, by Carlos Gerbase, is an erotic-intellectual
romp involving two friends and two prostitutes they invite for a heady
private party. Anarchic, libertarian, in the style of Gerbase, one of the
talents of the south."

"Those who think Brazilian films have been too prudish lately will have
a great time seeing Sex & Beethoven - The Reunion: shown at the last
Gramado Film Festival, the film had many viewers astonished at its obscenity,
present already in the first dialogue, to the point that only a few viewers
realize that it is a comedy of manners, absolutely in tune with the urban
culture of our times. (...) At a certain point, for instance, one of the
guys says: 'Do you remember Jocasta, Oedipus' mother?' The girl answers:
'Oh, you think I look like a film star?' There are jokes that are so crude
that they are irresistible. With his head between Luciene Adami's legs,
one of the guys asks: 'You wear Phebo Patchouli, don't you?' And on it
goes. Or in."
