Entre Las Piernas

(Between your legs; PEREIRA, Manuel Gómez; 1999)

Os créditos iniciais são a primeira prova de que este filme é uma homenagem a Hitchcock e ao seu trabalho. A banda sonora e a realização são puro vintage Hitchcock mas, o filme, apesar das claras inspirações hitchcockianas enverga por outro caminho totalmente oposto. É uma peça de trabalho extremamente original, sendo sobre sexo, mas sem se tornar exclusivamente erótico ou chegar mesmo a tornar-se pornográfico, não contendo cenas sexuais demasiado explícitas. Aborda as repercussões de relações sexuais, vistas pelos olhos de dois viciados em sexo que se conhecem anonimamente numa sessão de terapia e, é aqui que se encontram as duas excelentes representações de todo o filme (Victoria Abril num papel sensualíssimo e Javier Bardem) que transmitem com uma precisão espectacular as crises sexuais das personagens que encarnam fornecendo ao filme um ambiente extremamente sexy.

Charles Bukowski is one of the greatests American poets. He became a cult, literary underground figure in the late 50's, known only to few press readers and publishers of the time. He wrote of his experiences in flop houses, bars, and women in a very distinctive, one-of-a-kind, formless fashion. This is an extraordinary documentary, capturing Bukowski in the 1970's and 1980's mostly, telling the story of his incredible life and alternatively capturing private moments that define him as well as defy his reputation. The film uses interviews of those who felt deeply inspired by his work (as Tom Waits, Bono, and other famous artists) and of those who lived with him, specially women. Whether he spoke of his upbringing, his drinking, his laziness, his unattractiveness, his women, and especially about love, death and sex, he remained steadfast in his cynicism laced with humor.

He reads his own work in a world weary tone of voice that possesses a cadence that seems to say "he's tired of it all". If you go into this film without ever haven read Bukowski, it can be a jarring experience, but rewarding nonetheless.
