What happens

Amor Maldito é um filme brasileiro de 1984, dirigido por Adélia Sampaio. É o primeiro longa-metragem dirigido por uma mulher negra na história do cinema brasileiro. Por causa do seu tema polêmico, foi rejeitado pela Embrafilme e pelo circuito exibidor. Entrou em cartaz em apenas oito cinemas de São Paulo, e ainda assim foi preciso que a cineasta aceitasse lançá-lo como uma pornochanchada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
