Dzi Croquettes, is an interesting film about a Brazilian gay dance theatre group, also described as an all male Zeigfield Follies. The subject was really interesting and original, the film itself from a technical aspect could have been better. I wish there was more footage on the group performing instead of tons of interview snippets from the same people recounting their experience seeing the group. But considering the Croquettes existed in the early 70's I guess there isn't much actual footage to be found. Its a shame as they were highly creative and original and it would be great to see more of their talent. The guys were incredibly sexy dancers with long lean torsos, thongs, hairy legs and chests and makeup and skirts. They really captured femininity without turning it into a caricature or mockery. At the end of the movie there's a line that goes "gays don't die....they turn into glitter" the whole audience roared with laughter.
