Brazil Solos, A New Explicit Film by Antonio Da Silva
A Review in
Accidental Bear
From the moment I finish watching one of Antonio Da Silva's films, I am already aching for his next. Always skating the line between porn and art and always turning me on. TMI? I make no excuses for being a perv and you shouldn't either. Antonio Da Silva's choice of men in his films is exquisite.
Brazil Solos interviews 30 Brazilian men. They are all naked, relaxed and excited. They talk about the diversity in Brazil, their fantasies, the Cariocas, the butt, the hipper sexualisation of the black man and much more... All are sexually attracted to other men and very sexually active, despite the fact that they live in a very conservative and religious country.
