剧情介绍
影片是根据真人真事改编，描写巴西备受争议的扮装皇后莎塔崛起前的传奇故事，展现了20世纪30年代里约热内卢红灯区底层人们的生存状态。
莎塔在龙蛇杂处的拉帕区，生长于贫穷和混乱之中，毒品，犯罪，卖淫...生活不一而足。他备受侮辱，然而内心存在自己的梦想，那就是歌唱。他与一个黑人，一个白人妇女及她的小女孩生活在一起，他们相互扶助。他遇见如印度王子般俊美的雷那托，两人展开剧烈的爱情。后来雷那托死去。莎塔在酒吧演出越来越成功，他最终成为亮眼的变装舞台天后。
本片音乐极其魅惑好听。
这是巴西/法国2002年同志片，芝加哥电影节最佳影片，戛纳、日舞、多伦多等国际电影节参赛作品，台湾金马国际影展作品。 A story inspired by the life of one of the most remarkable figures in Brazilian popular culture, João Francisco dos Santos (1900-1976). In turn, bandit, transvestite, street fighter, brothel cook, convict and father to seven adopted children, dos Santos--better known as Madame Satã--was also a notorious gay performer who pushed social boundaries in a volatile time. The story begins in 1932, in Rio de Janeiro's bohemian Lapa district, when João Francisco is about to achieve his dream: becoming a stage star. In the sordid yet lively world of Lapa--populated by pimps, prostitutes and other denizens of Rio's underworld--João battles the streets and presides over a surrogate family that includes the charming prostitute Laurita, and her baby daughter whom everyone dotes on; the flamboyant hustler Taboo; João's teenage lover, Renatinho; and Amador, the owner of the Blue Danube club which is their second home. It is at the Blue Danube that street tough João begins to sing, and the mythic drag artiste Madam Satã is born.

35㎜放映，划痕和腐化掠过像拳头打在屏幕上；不太相信愤怒可以跳舞，但接受；自主的拍摄的确还是美啊
讲述巴西变装皇后莎塔的前史，在这个阶段他遇见了爱情，然后也失去了爱情，他进过许多次监狱，也把监狱变成他的床榻，他一直饱受种族/阶级和性向的种种暴力和歧视，内心燃烧的怒火让他发出一颗子弹，也为此催发成一种身体激情，去解构这一具黑人身体上的各种成规。有趣的是，最后一个闹事男人质问莎塔是男是女，后者说自己的男人气概未减一分，这时候的莎塔遗留着性别气质焦虑，这也让我们思考变装表演如何一步步成为先锋和性感的性别实践。
madam！
【3.0】
好多裸戏
[4.0/5.0] 男主角迴旋踢好強（所以喜歡的人要跟他學打架ＸＤ）。
“Eu sou bicha porque eu quero! E não deixo de ser homem por causa disso!”(I’am a Queen by choice! It doesn’t make me less of a man!)，抱着0了解来看Madame Satã最能定义其的莫过于数个怒发冲冠的瞬间
生猛 in every way ，这手持真让人耳目一新，但铺垫太长了，人物塑造的不是很饱满，但光看这手持倒是能让人忘了节奏的问题
丑人多作怪
三星半。
纪念Latin American Popular Culture
是黑人还是同志，双重歧视下的抗争，励志感动。
裸看无字幕，看过留脚印~
巴西的人比墨西哥好看太多
还行
