    Upcoming movie with capoeira streetfighting

    I just saw a preview for this before a screening of "Rivers and Tides" (which totally kicks ass, but is a documentary about sculptor Andrew Goldworthy, so you guys might not be interested.)

    Anyway, this movie is called "Madame Sata," and seems to be about a black guy from Rio de Janiero getting all caught up in crime, showbiz, intrigue and so on. The moves he showed in the trailer looked great, and were filmed in a way you could really see 'em. I'm gonna see it as soon as I can.

    There's a link to the trailer in quicktime.

    Thumbs up

    some elements are a bit disturbing, but nothing to discriminate against. seems like an interesting film. Id watch it just to see how this guys martial artistry is portrayed.
    I sense it might be setting itself up for criticism from purists, but, with all endeavours one runs that risk.
    comes with the territory.

    Seen it and well ...

    If it's martial arts you want to see, you'll be disappointed.

    However, I personally like Brazilian culture and for that reason enjoyed having a look at the movie. I'd recommend City of God as a **** good Brazilian movie too, while we are at it.

    Madame Satã is not exactly a capoeira movie, supposed to be awesome though, i havent seen it. Its ment to be one of the good new brazilian movies.
    If they are marketing as a MA movie, they are crazy u know.

    My favourite brazilian movie is Cidade de Deus (City of God) its oh so awesome. O Homem que Copiava (with same actor of Madame Satã) is kick ass too.

    No, it's definitely not being marketed as a capoiera movie. I saw the preview at the artsiest cinema in town, and as you can tell from the trailer I linked to, the class war/crossdressing/bisexual stuff is emphasized pretty heavily. Still, the hero seems to have some moves, and it looks like it has a lot of potential for excellent drama. I figure it'll show on the same screens that show "American Splendor" not the ones that show "Blade II."
