All Nudity Shall Be Punished

Winner of the Silver Bear at the 1973 Berlin Film Festival, All Nudity Shall Be Punished is the story of a wealthy widower, Herculano (Paulo Porto), and his son, Serginho (Paulo Sacks), each of whom has embraced celibacy but for different reasons. Breaking Herculano’s vow is a challenge too good to pass up for his brother and he finds a way to lead Geni (Darlene Gloria), a vivacious prostitute and nightclub singer, to his palatial home. In this subversive satire and a direct attack on upper-class hypocrisy, Geni soon breaks down the facade of respectability as father and son find themselves in a ménage à trois the results of which leave no one unscathed. —nwfilm.org
