Some dated elements, but holy heck, what performances by Hurt and Julia! 12 years 7 months ago -

Both the "dated elements" and "white-washing" lamented in the comments here is completely blown out of proportion.
First of all the gay/trans stereotypes present are a little much but within the context of the movie realistic. Secondly this is not the point of the movie - it's not supposed to be a grand portrait of gay psyche or a history lesson about Brazil's junta days. It's essentially a very intimate, tender 2-person stage play. It lives and dies by the performances - and live it does 11 months ago -
