PT Mais uma obra de Milo Manara que entra na minha caminhada para conhecer a totalidade da obra desta lenda viva.
Sempre que leio Manara, não consigo deixar de refletir sobre como este grande artista dificilmente teria surgido nos dias de hoje, num tempo em que a expressão da sensualidade feminina é muitas vezes mal compreendida. Na realidade, o problema não reside na sensualidade em si, mas sim na forma como alguns homens lidam com ela, sem o devido respeito e maturidade perante o erotismo do corpo feminino.
Dito isto, neste volume encontramos mais algumas histórias curtas em que Manara utiliza a sensualidade feminina para construir fantasias envolventes, sempre com um gosto e uma elegância inigualáveis.
Não existe, e provavelmente nunca mais existirá, outro autor com esta mestria.

EN Another work by Milo Manara adds to my journey of exploring the complete oeuvre of this living legend.
Whenever I read Manara, I can’t help but reflect on how this great artist would hardly have emerged in today’s world, where the expression of female sensuality is often misunderstood. In reality, the issue does not lie in sensuality itself, but rather in the way some men respond to it—without the respect and maturity that the eroticism of the female body deserves.
That said, in this volume we find more short stories in which Manara uses female sensuality to craft compelling fantasies, always with unparalleled taste and elegance.
There is, and likely never will be, another author with this level of mastery.

An interesting little comic book which features six short stories, combining the erotic with comedy, but sometimes also morality and, well, mortality. They're a tad underdeveloped, but work as little vignettes on their own. It's really the art you came for and it's great! Wonderful colour and drawings, with some gorgeous Italian architecture. It's less explicit than Manara's other work, namely "Click", but it's still enough to make you feel uncomfortable reading it in public...

Um pouco curto demais, mas é uma boa seleção de histórias de Manara. Publicadas em jornais e revistas, dentro do tema "Programas de TV", são histórias que falam sobre os limites das produções de TV, programas de auditório, câmeras escondidas, documentários, tudo com a "boa" e velha pitada de misoginia realista de Manara.

Manara is a funny dude- expect an engaging tryst of carnal delights every time you flip his work. Even if it's dramatic there is still humor blinking somewhereabouts.
His art hit me more than usual with this on. Maybe it's the reproduction, but there's \lightning/ in his line coming off the page throughout. And the women? The reputation is fully met with his usual bevvy.

Nice short stories in the form of Milo Manara

Uma obra que tem uma sensualidade latente e erotismo bem explorado, mas que também demonstra um certo machismo e falta de empatia e compreensão do mundo feminino.

Reler muitos anos depois e com a evolução dos programas de televisão tem outro interesse. Os limites da TV e os esquemas de produção com um toque Manara.

Good line art but the hints of characterization and plot never go anywhere. I found it more of a storyboard than something fleshed out.

Adult full-color graphic novel. This book contains several stories, all relating to a camera.
The first story is titled "Sense of Modesty." Apparently, a group wants to test to see if "modesty is a natural human attribute or if it's just imposed by law and religion." To test this theory, the come up with the brilliant plan to have a geeky man walk up to strange women in the street and ask to see them shirt-less and bra-less or skirt-less and panty-less for a reward of money (strange thing about that geeky guys hair; one minute it is orangish, then purplish, and then orangish again).
The second story is titled "Three-Breasted Woman from Mars." A group wants to stage a fake Mars invasion. They use a fake space ship and a nude woman painted green and with a fake third breast. All goes wrong, cars crash, people injured, and mobs rioting. Green woman left behind, has to dangle along beneath the fake spaceship. ..
The third story is titled "Crime and Punishment." This story involves a man with a camera that has pretended to film a red-head at a train station until he realizes that he might have gotten her in trouble with the man she was with. He follows after her until she arrives at a house. He points his camera through a window and films the woman being punished by her husband and mother-in-law.
The fourth story is titled "the Set-Up." A rich man wants to have an X-rated video-tape made of him in bed with his wife. He has some film of her already, and so the group he visits suggests using a substitute. A woman is called in to play the part, but through a series of mistakes, a different woman, one of the film crew, ends up on the bed.
The fifth story is titled "Ballerina." This story involves the Miss Italy beauty pageant and a rather flat-chested young woman that wants the chance to perform her talent on camera. The talent: ballerina. The girl was promised her chance, the comedian ran long, and well, it doesn't end pretty. (And why "death" is included in the list at the end).
The sixth and last story is titled "The Ritual." While on board a plane, one of the men of the film crew over-hears an interesting conversation between a woman and a rather pale skeletal man. Apparently the woman will have to be examined due to the believe that she is a witch. The film crew man decides to film the two people involved in the conversation. The film crew man phones his crew and tells them the plan. As the woman and man are checking into a hotel, a man in a costume comes up and says "do you recognize me" (the costume involves the head of a goat or something like that and a long robe). The woman freaks out and the skeletal man states that the examination will have to be more extensive. The skeletal man and the woman walk along a canal, and the priest begins the examination right there. He tells her to strip, walk along ahead of him, and then to immerse herself into the very cold canal water.
Overall, the book has good artwork, and silly little scenes. This book includes: exhibitism, whipping, death, and rituals.

Kerrassaan mainio lyhärikokoelma. Alkoi pornona, mutta jossain vaiheessa oheen sujahti itsemurha-draamaa ja noituutta. Yllätti moinen.
