A Mulher de Todos

Any narratively uninhibited film that starts with a rotund uniformed man zealously French kissing a vast inflatable balloon, and randomly cutting to our hyper-exotic narrator strongly suggested the unfurling of skewed cinematic brilliance! Perky quixotic love vampire, Angela (Helena Ignez) is the uninhibitedly didactic nubile high priestess of nymphomania, Ultra-powerful number one enemy of men! Traversing an escalator, repeatedly kicking her swarthy beau in the shins, Angela ardently expressing her appreciation of ignorant men merely the tantalizing prelude to her many beguiling eccentricities!

The playful, erotically unbound, Angela is married to the obese, Doktor Plirtz (Jo Soares) part comic book villain, part megalomaniacal tycoon, part grandstanding, candy stuffing buffoon. Plirtz seemingly unaware that his luxuriously libidinous, cigar-chomping wife is a serially man-eating sex siren! Sinfully sojourning on the appropriately named Pleasure island, Angela triumphantly takes on, and blithely discards all the predictably lustful men that tickle her altogether delectable fancy, leaving them spent and dazed in her wickedly wanton wake!

The hyperbolic, dazzlingly epigrammatic, refreshingly non-conformist celluloid celebration of delicious anti-western demon, 'Angela of Flesh and Blood' is a uniquely energizing Godardian assault on the reeling senses! Its engagingly eclectic baroque pop/samba soundtrack galvanizes the film's luridly psychedelic 'do what thy wilt' sensibilities. Rogerio Sganzerla's exhilarating drunken delirium of riotous comic book kookiness, and lunatic lo-fi, proto-punk invention remains a ferociously freak-headed fever dream no less quixotic-exotic than comparable works by, Alejandro Jodorowsky or, Dusan Makavejev.

Incredible film. It looks very nouvelle vague-ish, is very funny and also quite smart. There are a few political commentarys throughout the runtime that i think most people who are not familiar with the AI 5 (ai 5 was an institutional act implemented by the fascist dictatorship in 1968) will not get since they are very subtle because if they werent the film would've gotten censored. One thing that i think is interesting to point is that it came out the same year that John Waters's "Multiple Maniacs" and it has kind of the same anarchic feel to it, only more political leaning. I like to speculate that perhaps if he had seen it it would've made a bigger impact on him than something like "vixen" or any other Russ Meyer film.

I read a review of this film where the person commented that they saw it drunk and I imagine that I should add it, huh? It's strange, but funny and smart. The Helena acting is so powerful and memorable, the soundtrack with her acts is really wonderful.

Sganzerla (the Director) once said that his films are anti-intellectual and seek Brazilianness above all else (or something like this), but he is a bit intellectual, and this fact he is even unconsciously involved in his work, he plays with language but knows what he is doing

Easily one of the best sleazy films, anyone who hasn't understood it until now will never understand it!
