DEUS E O DIABO NA TERRA DO SOL
BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL
Brazil, 120 min, 1964
Directed by Glauber Rocha
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.
