Madame Sata

200399 minsColor
Karim Ainouz, Director
Legendary Brazilian transvestite, criminal, hustler and carnival star, João Francisco dos Santos (1900-1976) lived a life that might have come from the pen of French writer Jean Genet. In an electrifying performance, Lázaro Ramos resurrects Rio's fabled nightclub performer and hot-tempered knife-fighter in Karim Ainouz's impressionistic biopic. Seething with sweat, carnal energy and unforgettable glimpses of '30s Brazil's seedy underworld, MADAME SATÃ was aptly described by the New York Times as "a voluptuous, hot-blooded portrait."
