Love Story-cum-international crime thriller
Trenszmacher5 February 2001
This otherwise mediocre film (feels like a TV movie) has some campy and unusual features nonetheless. Set in Rio de Janeiro, it features now famous star Patricia Pillar (of Oscar nominee O QUATRILHO). She's the film's lead character, an international flight attendant involved not only in a dangerous love relationship, but a risky criminal smuggling rink as well. The film also features Rogeria, Brazil's most famous Drag Queen for the last thirty years, as a female killer. Love, crime, natural beauty, murder, mafia wars are all prominent in this story. It suggests to confirm a Brazilian damnation: "The Sampaku Curse, or Maldition." This, of course is the film's title. Worth a look if it's on late at night.
