About Tara: Forbidden Pleasures
Sonia, a wealthy and mature woman, lives alone on a farm in a region that is being ravaged by a gang of violent bandits. Despite this, she refuses to take any steps to increase her security and even takes in Helena, the daughter of her fiancé Alfredo, who has had a serious falling out with her father. Alfredo, who also has a country house in the same area, follows his daughter, unaware that she and Sonia are in a lesbian relationship. At the same time, increasingly cornered by the police, the bandits take desperate action, raping Sonia, beating Alfredo and murdering one of Helena's friends.
Directed by Luiz Castellini, Tara: Forbidden Pleasures leans on a strong ensemble — Patrícia Scalvi, André Lopes, Alexandre Dressler — 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 horror titles of 1979.
