Abril Despedaçado / Behind The Sun
One of the earliest feature films from Walter Salles (I’m Still Here), this is a dreamy, parched meditation on the wasteful futility of revenge.
O Último Azul / The Blue Trail
No country does a road movie like Brazil – especially when the open road is the Amazon river.
Terra Em Transe / Entranced Earth
Glauber Rocha’s thundering polemic on the corruption inherent in politics; banned in the early years of Brazil’s dictatorship, it stands as one of his most compelling works.
Bacurau
Kleber Mendonça Filho’s delirious genre-bender is a modern classic, escalating from thoughtful social drama to weird, ultraviolent revenge Western.
