A satiric burlesque at the expense of the bourgeoisie (who else?), All Nudity tells of a wealthy widower and his son who have embraced celibacy, each for his own reasons, as it turns out. The man's scoundrel brother, seeing a challenge here, devilishly introduces him to a blonde chanteuse who works a path to his palatial home. There she reigns in shameless Harlowesque displacement-only to meet and fall hard for the chaste young son. Devastating subversive comedy hits its target-upper-class sexual hypocrisy-and keeps on going. So beware a tragic ending for this naive golddigger who relies on the kindness of strangers. Director Arnaldo Jabor, in a 1981 interview with Judy Stone, relates Brazilian drama to the Portuguese and Spanish picaresque tradition, "...bawdy and self-ironical. So this film is a strong criticism of petty bourgeois hypocrisy: everyone thinking that everything is going to be normal. And then everything is different. Brazil is like that."
