O Clube

About This Movie

This documentary has been somewhat elusive in collector circles, with limited availability on physical formats. Early releases were modest and now carry a certain scarcity, making it a point of interest for those who appreciate LGBTQ+ history in cinema. There’s a growing appreciation for its candid exploration of identity and belonging, and collectors seem to be taking notice as discussions around it increase.
