If you're Brazilian you know how films made in the 70's were. They used to be about things like sex, violence and drugs. This was probably the worst time of cinema in Brazil. But many movies could be saved from the trash of the seventh art. "Rainha Diaba" is one of these films.
The main character is Diaba, a homossexual who who dresses like a lady. He controls the bandits and drug dealers of an area of Rio de Janeiro thorough violence and threats. He is feared and even loved by the people who work for him. However some of his men decide they could take the power from Diaba's hands and they try to make a plot to do it. It's an old film, but we can see some actors who are famous in Brazil today, like Milton Gonçalves, Nelson Xavier and Stephan Nercessian.
my rate 6 /10
