DEUS E O DIABO NA TERRA DO SOL
BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL
Directed by Glauber Rocha
Brazil | 1964 | 120' | Portuguese
New 4K restoration
Brazil's preeminent film of the Cinema Novo movement presented in official competition in Cannes in 1964. A tale of upheaval, fanaticism and violence in the hinterlands.
Cowhand Manuel and his wife Rosa flee their home after he kills a rich local rancher who tries to swindle him. In the drought-plagued and violent Brazilian badlands, they meet two iconic figures: Sebastião, who claims to be divine, and Corisco, who labels himself demonic. Casting their fates with these figures proves tragic, however, for mercenary Antonio das Mortes is on their trail.
