Bacurau
If you come, come in peace
Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, Juliano Dornelles
Produced by Símio Filmes, ARTE France Cinéma
A darkly inventive thriller about a tight-knit Brazilian community defending its autonomy and dignity against erasure and external threat, grounded in collective resistance and cultural specificity.
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.
