Barbara Branco in the premiere of O Crime Do Padre Amaro

You may recognize the title from an acclaimed 2002 Spanish-language movie called El Crimen del Padre Amaro. It was nominated for the Oscar as the best foreign language film. It attracted special attention here because of some nudity from beautiful Ana-Claudia Talencon (immediately below).

Although the story was about the 21st century travails of the Catholic Church, with particular emphasis on Mexico, the source of the story is neither modern nor in Spanish. It is an 1875 novel in Portuguese (O Crime do Padre Amaro). The story was later turned into A 2005 Portuguese film that had some box office success in Portugal, but attracted little notice elsewhere.

It is now being turned into a six-part Portuguese mini-series which will stay closer to the original story. There was some nudity in the first episode, but it is minimal: a poorly illuminated butt

… and some side-boob.

The nature of the story does support nudity, so I am hoping for much more in future episodes. 23-year-old Barbara Branco is beautiful, and as you can see from the side shots below, her breasts are huge.

She looks a little like young Phoebe Cates, but with the breasts of young Daddario.
