João/Satã was a criminal who spent a large part of his life in prison, but writer/director Aïnouz flashes back from this very colourful character's incarceration for murder to focus on his faltering rise to some kind of stardom. More an intimate drama than that a crime epic, it explores the underworld of gay criminality and takes the time to let explore João/Satã complex character in some depth. |
