Welcome to the first of what I hope will be an ongoing series of posts entitled: Films I’ve Seen That Contain Underage Nudity. How regular a feature this will be, I cannot say. I guess it depends on how many European art films I have time to watch. Any excuse to get kids out of their kit with those guys.
Castillo de la Pureza
Our first entry- El Castillo de la Pureza (AKA Castle of Purity)- is like the Mexican precursor to Giorgos Lanthimos’ Dogtooth. It is the story of a man who locks his family inside their home to protect them from the evils of the world. Made almost forty years prior to Dogtooth, Castillo still manages to out-shock that film by including a seemingly unnecessary (read: sexy) scene of a ten year-old girl and her sister taking a shower. But do not be decieved, this moment of voyeurism serves to cast the viewer in the role of lecherous outsider, thereby making a case for the actions of the father. It is a neat little cinematic trick, and a great excuse to film some underage trimless trim!
Your brother cannot satisfy you like Papa can... You need a REAL man.
You could never get away with this in an American film, which is why foreign cinema will always be superior. As an added bonus, Castillo is also chock-full of brother/sister sexual tension. The wrath of Father is incurred when he finds out his son has been touching sister’s pussy parts. Let this be a lesson to you, Papa. When hormones run awry, fingers will find the pie!
