| Brief Description: | A complex film about gay desire and paranoia. A former German steward
travels to Rio to find a mysterious man who left a cryptic message,
"Welcome to the AIDS Club," following a sexual encounter. "Via Appia, the nickname of a Rio district where male prostitutes hang out, becomes a grim guided tour of the city's gay subculture, its bars, discos, streets and a beach known as the AIDS farm. The documentary-within-the film-format justifies this material" (Vincent Canby). With Peter Senner, Guilherme de Padua and Yves Jansen. German and Spanish with English subtitles. |
