O Porteiro do Dia | The Daytime Doorman
Directed by Fábio Leal
25 mins, Brazil, 2016
Fiction short
Brazilian Portuguese language, English subtitles
We don’t get to see sex like this, shot like this, very often, in any themed movie of any kind. It reminded me of the sex-tableaux sequence from Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho, but I think I like this scene better, perhaps because of its lack of irony and the male bodies full of algedonic joy, masculine mischief, and post-coital affection.
Me, elsewhere on this site
I interviewed director Fábio Leal here on this site.
It’s easily one of my favorite gay shorts ever and one of the best shorts about gay male sex ever, right up there with Doors Cut Down.
But don’t take my word for it:
The one element from the film’s iconic sex scene I’ll treasure forever (and probably steal for myself) is how instead of showing us each fuck in chronological order (first, this position, then, this other position, and then, they flip) Leal mixes them together in a quick montage making time and ‘roles’ lose all meaning: at one point I wasn’t even sure who was fucking who. The bodies melt into each other, they might have been fucking for ten minutes, one hour, the whole weekend, who knows? Who cares?
