Estupro (1979) User Reviews

Mildly interesting Marins exploitation pic.

[HumanoidOfFlesh · 6/10 · 17 September 2007]

A millionaire is able to escape justice when he hires a powerful and talented lawyer to get him off a charge of sexually assaulting and mutilating a young virgin.Late he meets another woman who he falls madly in love with,but she plays hard to get.He vows to mend his ways, but doesn't realize that the woman isn't quite what she seems...This obscure Jose Mojica Marins exploitation film left me a little bit disappointed.The pace is slow and the plot is full of meaningless scenes and dialogs.Admittedly the beginning is pretty strong and the climax offers some blood and nastiness,but the rest of the film is quite often dull.The soundtrack is the most amusing element:it borrows some famous songs including 'Time' by Pink Floyd.If you are a fan of Coffin Joe series you may give this one a try.

Pretty straightforward but sick Marins-flick

I'm a huge fan of Coffin Joe's demented masterpieces but "Perversion/Estupro" (not a Coffin Joe entry) doesn't have the same visually and mindblowin' impact as "At Midnight I Will Steal You Soul" and "This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse". Marins plays an evil wealthy man who bites off a girl's nipple, just for the hell of it! In court he's declared innocent and throws a big party showing off the bloody nipple in glass jar!! But in the end the poor girl's sister get back at him in a pretty nasty way.

There are some issues of the übermensch/Nietzchian ideas from the Coffin Joe-films, but still it's too "normal". Fans of this Brazilian maverick should check out it, anyway.
