[cinema] Brazilian Filmmaker Clearly A Secret Fangirl
Besides porn and unicorns, we here at Fangasmic also have a keen interest in International independent cinema. Which is why the Brazilian film Do Começo ao Fim (English title: From Beginning To End) caught our attention.
The trailer's here, but why don't we let the summary from NewFest, the New York LGBT Film Festival, speak for itself:
ERIC KRIPKE, IS THAT YOU? WHEN DID YOU HAVE TIME TO GO MAKE A INDEPENDENT FILM IN BRAZIL IN BETWEEN YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE OF RUNNING A TV SHOW AND USING FANGIRL TEARS AS LUBE?
You know you were thinking it. Credit/blame for this goes tothatneedslube.
In the world outside the fangirl corners of the internet where incest has been effectively normalized, the film has gathered a fair amount of controversy- though it also, perhaps consequently, did extremely well at the Brazilian box office.
It's worth noting that the brothers in Abranches' film are only half-brothers. That's right, it's not even full incest. Pfft, I say. Until someone makes a movie with two fully related brothers and throws in some gangbang demon lactation MPREG, I think we win in terms of "controversial" over here. Nice try, though.
Do Começo ao Fim was released in Brazil last year, and is beginning to make its way through the indie film circuit elsewhere. We haven't seen it yet, but for those fen based in New York City with nothing to do tonight, tickets are available at the door for a 10:30 pm screening. If anyone's seen it, let us know what you thought.

Easily our most talked-about film of the season. Director Alusio Abranches challenges and titillates the viewer with his story of two model-gorgeous brothers whose close relationship evolves into a sexual one.

do you think they really had them be just half-brothers so it wouldn't be as controversial? because that's what i think;)
i've been obsessed with seeing this movie since i saw the trailer. hopefully it will at least get released on dvd here in the U.S.
