Oh! Rebuceteio

Okay, let’s first attempt to tackle that strange, unspeakable title. The 'Oh!' is obviously a tribute to Kenneth Tynan’s groundbreaking Broadway sex farce Oh! Calcutta!. 'Rebu' in Portuguese means a very confusing situation. 'Rebuceteio' is a conjugation of 'rebu' with 'buceta' (vulgar name for the female organ) and the suffix 'io', which implies collectivity. So, perhaps, knowing all that, you can make up your own title! Oh! Rebuceteio centres on a group of young thesps cast in an experimental theatre production desperate to please their egomaniacal director (played by director Cláudio Cunha himself). Early on, they improvise bizarre, unsimulated sexual acts as part of the rehearsal process, playing aggressive one-upmanship to see who can send their boss into the highest state of elation. This hard-core Chorus Line parody is one of the most unexpectedly heady and complex explicit sex films ever made in Brazil - wittily breaking down established notions of pornographic spectatorship.
