Diamante, O Bailarina

Very well directed, filmed, acted, editted, produced (nice art direction too) and written short film on a gay skillful amateur boxer who is also a drag queen. Prejudice and lack of discipline are his main rivals. Both a good boxing movie and a good queer film.

I love it for the high dose of realism. For the side of fairy tale. For Joao Acaiabe and, sure,Sidney Santiago. And, off course, for the clash between individualism and the plans of a couch. But, not doubts, a good contribution has the last scene to this love. It is an easy film, portrait of double life of a boxer , but it is not bad told. And that makes it just nice.
