Magdalene in Paris Trailers

How can a queer, androgynous Brazilian, son of a saint in Candomblé, an immigrant from Santo Amaro da Purificação in Europe, for 23 years bring together more than 60 thousand people dancing to the sounds of atabaques in the streets of Paris? This ritual, the Lavagem da Madeleine, which washes the steps of the French church, is intertwined with the life of his creator, the dancer from the Paradis Latin cabaret, Robertinho Chaves. In search of his identity in the Afro-Brazilian diaspora of Paris, he is about to cross the border of masculine and feminine, between the sacred and the profane.

Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
