Verano salvaje aka Savage Summer (1980) is an erotic exploration of an illicit threesome at the beach besieged by violence, and is a notable representation of Vadillo’s typical blend of sexually confrontational storytelling and traditional melodrama. Ostensibly following a woman (Ana Martín) on her journey of sexual discovery, but rife with homoerotic imagery, Verano salvaje is an outlier in hypersexualized Mexican genre filmmaking where men’s bodies are the focus of objectification.
