BRAMADERO (2007).


Bramadero
a short film by Julián Hernández
2007 | 21 mins | Mexico

If you like a bit or even a lot of erotic man-on-man action in your cinematic viewing, then this is one for you. For whilst fans of the films of writer and director Julián Hernández of Broken Sky and A Thousand Clouds of Peace fame will no doubt be more than familiar as to the nature of his work, perhaps even they are in for a surprise here, given in this instance Hernández has delivered a piece that boldly goes where no BBFC short has gone before!
Screened as part of the 'Investigating Desire' programme at this years London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival; the clue as to what is on offer here is both in the title and for that matter in the package, namely acts of desire. For this is the story of two mens' sexual encounter on a half-built skyscraper on the outskirts of Mexico City. In short, a rutting place for a pair of Mexican studs to strut their stuff in the form of a mating game, one that is but a prelude to acts of sexual intimacy. And here let's cut to the chase, for we're talking about full frontal male nudity, let alone clear oral and anal sex.
To that end, Sergio Almazán and Cristhian Rodríguez give their all - literally, to the unspoken narrative, in a work that it has to be said, is far removed from your standard LA porn. And yet at the end of the day, this is a sexually overt piece; albeit one that is beautifully shot and edited, as delivered in Hernández' trademark 'emotional silence' style, laced as it is with lush long takes and creative cinematography that frankly makes the raw sex on offer, an all the more classy affair.
Indeed as arthouse sex goes, this is a fine exemplification of the medium. Only you cannot help but feel you're missing something here. That of a meaning to this sensual outing of seduction and sex, if not desire and death, one that without a doubt is probably the most explicit short you're ever likely to see!
