De Fontoura, 86, has an assured hand for both hand-to-hand combat and queer aesthetics. (Ângelo de Aquino’s high femme costumes are scandalous.) But the more character-driven scenes drag, at times stopping the film’s pleasures cold with slack dialogue. Still, Gonçalves — a rageful, heartbreaking gangster — and the film he dominates are must-sees for fans of under-the-radar queer movie history. Read full review
