Decently developped characters, grotesque sexual deviation, sluggish pace, some beautiful and famous undressed Brazilian actresses, weird soundtrack, in a film that at least shows how ridiculous millionaire rascals may be.

Marcelo (Tarcísio Meira) is a tiresome, powerful and selfish millionaire. He lives an existentialistic crisis, since he is a successful businessman but afraid of age and death. He can have whatever woman he wants, but in his intimacy, he desires the unique impossible woman, his daughter. Marcelo has the companion of two whores - Lila (Nicolle Puzzi) and Renata ( Monique Lafond) - but he is not satisfied. They three will spend Christmas and New Year Eve in an island where Marcelo has a mansion. In a party, he meets another whore - Diana (Monique Evans) and invites her to go to the island with them. All of these delicious women are paid for satisfying him. While in the island, his daughter Berenice (Bia Seidl) visits him with her friend Beatriz (Christiane Torloni). Along the holiday period, Marcelo has an incestuous relation with Berenice. But after reaching the impossible woman, Marcelo is still not satisfied.

In this erotic movie, Walter Hugo Khouri has the participation of at least five of the most beautiful and desirable women in Brazil: in the 60's, Monique Evans, Monique Lafond, Nicolle Puzzi, Bia Seidl and Christiane Torloni were disputed by male magazines to be shot nude. The story about a powerful dissatisfied man has great dialogs. However, it is not indicated for all audiences. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Eu" ("I")

This is another film from the Brazilian director of "Love Strange Love". Like his previous effort this combines surprisingly high production values, pseudo-classiness, and admittedly beautiful Brazilian women with a plot that is highly questionable if not downright sleazy. The protagonist is a dissolute and unlikeable middle-age businessman who spends all his time with two young and attractive paid mistresses. He takes his two paid dates out to his island villa managed by an unusually attractive housekeeper. Then his adult daughter shows up with her attractive friend. He spends the rest of the movie having sex with all these women--and I do mean ALL of these women.

It is a lot more believable that a wealthy middle age businessman would get all this hot sex action from beautiful women than it is with the 12-year-old boy in "Love Strange Love". Still the incest angle is pretty sleazy, even if the actress playing the daughter is the prettiest of the five Brazilian beauties here. The father-daughter incest is at least a little more palatable than the mother-son incest of "Love Strange Love", if only because everyone here is an adult. HOWEVER, it is pretty hard to get past the very first scene of the movie, a flashback where a much younger version of the daughter comes into her father's room and starts massaging his, um, foot in a not-so-innocent fashion. The incest doesn't bother me that much (since I don't personally have a hot Brazilian daughter), but I draw the line at pedophilia.

This scene is fortunately never repeated, but it really serves only to make the protagonist even MORE unlikeable than he would be otherwise. The problem is movie goes on for a good two hours after that, and despite the beautiful women and beautiful scenery, the inevitable result is boredom. Personally, I would have rather see a more HONESTLY sleazy movie rather than one that manages to be both creepy and dull and has such an unsympathetic protagonist.
