Bacurau
“If you come, come in peace”
MysteryWesternThriller
Bacurau, a small town in the Brazilian sertão, mourns the loss of its matriarch, Carmelita, who lived to be 94. Days later, its inhabitants notice that their community has vanished from most maps.
VIBE
A sun-baked, defiant fever dream where a community's fight for existence unfolds with visceral intensity. It blends neo-western grit with unsettling surrealism, building a politically charged atmosphere of resistance. The film feels like a rallying cry, both brutal and strangely beautiful.
