madame satã ( 2002 ) be more or less a biography of a brazilian criminal and pimp and and abuser of both men and woman . i think we be to understand that his action be drive by his ambition to be a transvestite star in the rio de janeiro slum . i do not know if the performance we see be mean to be evidence of talent i can not judge what a brazilian audience would enjoy in 1932. i do know that the protagonist behavior be consistently cruel and explosively violent . nothing i saw in this film impress me . it be show at the rochester gay and lesbian film festival . be this the best film the committee could find about cross dressing .
