Havan_IronOak This is a bit of recursive movie making. It's the story of a Lufthansa flight attendant who has gotten AIDS from a Rio hustler. The hustler was `kind' enough to advise the guy by scrawling `Welcome to the AIDS-Club' on the hotel mirror before stealing the flight attendant's camera and disappearing. Its also about the making of a movie about a flight attendant who...The flight attendant has now hooked up with a filmmaker who thinks it's a good idea to film the flight attendant's return to Brazil in search of this guy. We get to see the mean streets of Brazil, the boys who earn their living there, and the sex tourists who prey upon them as they are in turn preyed upon. Probably the most interesting aspects of the film involve a savvy Brazilian boy of the streets who attaches himself to the filming party and joins the search. When it was released in 1990, AIDS was more of a death sentence than it is today and the mystery surrounding the disease has been reduced. This movie is no longer as topical as when it was first made and its `indie' roots are not as easy to gloss over as they once were but it is still an interesting film and worth the time to view it, if nothing better presents itself. I wouldn't choose it over most of the more current releases though.
