About O Império do Sexo Explícito
Marcelo is an ex-convict seeking revenge (although who or why revenge is not explained). He teams up with his friend Luanda to outsmart two violent gangs of drug traffickers, who are about to negotiate a millionaire. When it's time for the exchange, Marcelo pockets the money, steals the swag, kills the delivery boy and starts a bloody war between gangs. But the siege is also closed against him and his two loved ones, Cris and Linda, a lover of the past that the anti-hero finds again.
Directed by Marcelo Motta, O Império do Sexo Explícito leans on a strong ensemble — Zilda Mayo, Oasis Minniti, Noelle Pine — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1985.
