About Carnaval in Rio
Lush, vibrant, gorgeous, sweltering...and the locations were pretty good, too! During Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, ten Brazilian studs enjoy the samba school parades, the street festivities, and the cruising action on the beach and in the city.
Directed by Kristen Bjorn, Carnaval in Rio leans on a strong ensemble — Luciano Perreira, Braulio Duarte, Sergio Calucci — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1989.
