The wildly entertaining and strikingly strange Brazilian western-meets-thriller-meets-globalism critique Bacurau arrives in limited theaters today with a bang (and a welter of blood). Read our full review:
has vaulted above all of them in my estimation, if only because I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Simultaneously retro and totally modern, this film looks like a Spaghetti Western but aches with 21st-century rage. It introduces us to a rural community of heterogenous hardscrabble Brazilians who are managing to eke out an existence on the margins of a society that has started to crumble.
The latter half of this film joyously plays to genre conventions, and includes moments of grind house gore that won’t be to everyone’s taste. But I loved the lack of piety in the bloodletting., it shows the least among us rising up and fighting back against the ruthlessness of global inequality. This film is less polite and rigorously built than Bong Joon Ho’s triumph, but it would make a hell of a double feature.The best new culture, style, and beauty stories from Vogue, delivered to you daily.
