It's a surprise to watch this movie, because we [brazillians] are finally having our movies being screened at major theaters, and that pleases me. But, let me talk about the movie. I was dazzled with the energy of this movie, because Lázaro Santos IS Madame Satã in such a powerfull way that is almoust scary. It might not have a very good plot line, but the way the movie was shot is incredible, it seems that the camera is loose, as wild as Mme Satã with a unique photogray[if you watch carefully, you'll see that the director explores the shadows and use an artifice of 'portrait' to limit the screen...and the camera's iris-or diafragama- is so open that only one object is visible at the time] and an extraordinary soundtrack!!! There are some scenes that are so powerfull that I think beats one particulary scene from "Hable con Ella" when Lydia faces the bull for the first time. Don't avoid this movie because of the homosexualism, because then you are going to be stupid enough to miss it! A new brazilian movie that is not limited by the difficulties to produce a movie here. A must see
