The Kiss (1981)
7/10
The twisted mind of the contentious writer Nelson Rodrigues!!!
17 October 2022
I can talk myself because I lived as teenager in those days when this picture was released, although I face it as the amoral world of the magnificent and contentious writer Nelson Rodrigues, it was based in the play already done, who really knew Rodrigues previously is aware about his taste, this in a tale fully overdone with the strongest colors whom wrote it, said that let's say that wasn't exactly so in those past days, actually I never read nothing like that in São Paulo a major city of Brazil, however the movie took place at Rio de Janeiro both cities were in the same level about the this matters.

It' about a spicy story from Rodrigues's twisted mind, have you ever seen a public kiss in a dying guy lays out in the asphalt? I don't think so, quite sure coming from of the mastermind as Nelson Rodrigues only, aside that the movie is good a kind of sexploitation in opposite terms, Arandir a guy misunderstood ( Ney Latorraca), the prudish wife Selminha (Torloni), a pretty sister-in-law Dalia (Lidia Brondi) who have a secret love with the silly Arandir, also appears the ambiguous father played by the veteran Brazilian star Tarcisio Meira, the kiss at street got huge proportion when it caught in the eye of the lurid newspaper's reporter Amado Pinheiro (Daniel Filho) by the way an outstanding performance to help his rough police commissioner Cunha (Oswaldo Loureiro) to recover about bad manners breached against a pregnant woman who end up lose the baby.

I agree with totalitarian carry out by military takeover during its time, where both police and tabloids due the forbidden subjects which they didn't get touch, thus then gave to the public exactly they wanting for, Rodrigues aware this make this odd tales whenever he could imagine writing about prosti-tution, f.a.g.s and all rotten things, always well exploited by the wise Nelson Rodrigues, good movie but not great!!

Thanks for reading.
