The Devil Queen (Kino) (Blu-Ray)

New 4K Restoration! Rio de Janeiros criminal underworld is run by an unexpected boss: Diaba (Milton Gonalves, Carandiru), a femme queen with a taste for power and violence. When the police come after her boy toy, Diaba attempts to find a scapegoat to take the blame and a plot to dethrone Her Majesty arises! Always clad in gloriously colorful outfits and accessories inspired by Afro-Brazilian culture, Diaba runs a mob of eccentric misfits made up of drag queens, pimps, prostitutes, and queer folks of all stripes. The movies bold and audacious color palette and camp aesthetic evokes the early films of Pedro Almodvar, while its stylized and over-the-top violence is giving Quentin Tarantino queer fever dream.
