If you enjoy offbeat films like Russ Meyer's "Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!" or "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", or early John Waters features like "Female Trouble" or "Pink Flamingos", brace yourself for "FUEGO", an astounding piece of late 60s sex-melodrama from Argentina. Selling point: The film was so sultry and bodacious (by 1960s standards) that it was actually BANNED in its country of origin!!! Voluptuous ISABEL SARLI deserves high marks for her passionately enthusiastic portrayal of a tormented nymphomaniac whose insatiable lusts push her toward oblivion. The memorable, over-the-top theme song is so relentlessly aggressive it will haunt you forever. Everything about "FUEGO" is beyond belief and stupefying -- you will wonder how it ever got made in the first place! It would be a crime for me to go into any more detail -- you simply MUST see "FUEGO" for yourself and revel in its gaudy delirium! It is so "dreadful" that, honestly, it really deserves 5 stars (in the Bad Is Good category), but I'm only giving this double feature DVD 4 stars. This is partly because the master for "FUEGO" appears to suffer from dirt scratches and some jump-cuts (granted, this probably can't be helped with an obscure film like this -- alternate prints and negatives are likely nonexistant); let me say, however, the color is sumptuous and the print eminently watchable (yes, the scratches do sort of add a level of charm...). The art-housey black-and-white companion feature, "THE FEMALE" (also starring ISABEL SARLI) is a bit of a let down after all the bravado stirred up in "FUEGO". However, "FUEGO" on its own is worth the price of this DVD, so don't hesitate to order! This is the kind of "bad cinema" that's great to watch with a group of friends and only gets better with repeated viewing. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like "FUEGO" -- it sets new standards for outrageousness and will certainly keep you laughing for a long time.
