The term "Sangrita" - little blood in Spanish - is referenced in this film as a bloody sex game one of the characters likes to play. The synopsis of the movie given by the S. Paulo Film Festival staff suggests an innovative kinky sex movie, but not cheap porn, on cheap video.
There are a couple of other solid productions in this festival dealing with domination, pain - whipping, spanking and extreme piercing as orgasmic. So, there was no reason for me to doubt that this Argentinian production had some value. I did not know it was in low grade video, however. That would have warned me.
The film (a projected video of very low quality and resolution) is all about a sex game involving blood. All the action, if you can call it that, occurs on one set - consisting of a bedroom, living room, and a pool.
For a film which includes medical close ups of vaginal labia, pubic hair, and stooping females, one would expect better quality video, or regular film. It is cinema after all. To explain this last comment, one of the characters is a doctor, and one of the two girls is concerned about an abnormality in her lower labia, seen in a dimension of about forty feet (on the screen I saw it). It's more and bigger detail than most gynecologists have ever seen. Well, that's the highlight (the only memorable scene for shock value) of the film anyway.
The rest is mere indulgence of a petty sex fantasy in a plain set, with no intelligent dialog, two attractive young girls into S&M, bondage, blood, and exposure of their vagina and pubic hair. If that sounds good to you, wait! Unfortunately, you must equally endure the sight of a severely overweight 50 or 55 year old man (so fat we hardly see his penis - only his pubic hair) while he swims like a whale in the pool underwater. His opposite, a barely 20 year old, slim and pretty female, also with plenty of hair down there, swims with him or after him: who knows? At this point of the movie, who cares?
There is also blood. But, to be kind, not much of a plot; what there is - is projected on the screen as in silent movies. Maybe they should have called this film "Pubic" instead. in any case, how this film (sorry, low-quality video), made it to a very large and respected film festival is very surprising.
It is not even a good porno film. There is too much senseless dialog and little action to even attract those who may be aroused by pubic hair, blown up vagina close ups, blood, and severely overweight older men with no visible organ. Most people say "well, expect this weird nonsense at these artsy film festivals." But the festival where I saw it is not an S & M or fantasy sex festival for almost-zero budget productions. We have two festivals a year for productions of that sort. It's all very strange.
