Before making pornochanchada to ride out the '80s — otherwise soft-core sex-comedies with titles like 24 Hours of Explicit Sex — José Mojica Marins created his caped legacy, Zé do Caixao. Genteelly suited with a top hat and better known to horror aficionados as Coffin Joe, this narcissistic undertaker remains a favorite export from Brazil. The Film Society screens four of his surreal exploitations, beginning with the ultraviolent 1964 debut, At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul. In this low-budget trip through São Paulo, Coffin Joe starts his grail-like quest to conceive a perfect child, one that he'd continue in the sensational follow-up, This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse.
