A great Pronochanchada (Brazilian sexploitation), released after 41 years!

I am glad that filmmaker Adolfo Lachtermacher decided to search this sexploitation movie of his father, also moviemaker Saul Lachtermacher, who shot it in 1981, never released it, and died in the following year. Fortunately, Adolfo found it in 2022 and released it on April 28, 2024, together with a nice documentary he made about it, also addressing Brazilian sexploitation genre, known as "pornochanchada". "Com minha viúva, não!" is one of the best pornochanchadas I have watched, with very funny moments (which overcome the silly or problematic ones, such as those reproducing homophhobic prejudice) and a fantastic metalinguistic element, playing with what is reality and what is fiction (something I have seen in another great pornochanchada, "As delícias da vida", from 1974). In Saul Lachtermacher's film released in Canal Brasil immediately after his son's documentary and 41 years after producing it, there is a smart script which not only plays with metalanguage, but also mocks on the very Brazilian cinema industry of those times, with its sexploitation, the lack of money, and the shadow of censorship under military dictatorship. It is also a delight seeing actors who have passed away starring the movie, such as Flávio Migliaccio, Rossana Ghessa and Jorge Dória.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment. They encompass a wide range of styles, tones, and themes, appealing to various tastes and audiences.

One day, he is invited to do a part in the pornochanchada film "Com a Minha Viúva, Não!", starring Rossana Ghessa.
