Movie Report
About Movie:- Rio Sex Comedy is a 2010 comedy film. A group of strangers from different countries end up on Rio's sensual beaches. Seeking self fulfillment, they are looking for answers to existential questions. Yet it isn't until their different paths cross that they begin to understand why they came. Rio Sex Comedy is largely improvisational and features stirring performances from the entire cast.
Movie Review- Bill Pullman (
Independence Day, Bringing Up Bobby), Charlotte Rampling (
Swimming Pool, The Duchess) and Fisher Stevens (
Damages, Lost) lead the star-studded ensemble cast in Nossiter's free-spirited sex farce set in vibrant Rio de Janiero. A non-stop politically incorrect ride, the film follows the misadventures of a group of expatriates in Brazil as they search for personal pleasures and social justice. Rio Sex Comedy is largely improvisational and features stirring performances from the entire cast. "Rio Sex Comedy" has plenty of Rio - the best thing about the movie - but not much sex and very little comedy. It's more a bewildering mess from a high intelligent American director indulging himself a little experimentation in his adopted city. The film may never get off the festival circuit other than in the countries behind the co-production,
Brazil and
France.
Nossiter, who wrote and directed, wants to mix documentary and scripted scenes that all whirl around notions of beauty, race, class and sexual attraction, among other themes. Consequently, the film is both too ambitious and very poorly focused. The film itself was developed over several years, with the game cast visiting off and on to investigate their loosely scripted roles -- which share the actors' real-life names, wardrobes and other unspecified qualities.
