Kleber Mendonça Filho is my favorite Brazilian filmmaker. Neighboring Sounds was a phenomenal debut, Aquarius was incredible, and now he has done it again with Bacurau, this time co-writing and co-directing with Juliano Dornelles. I will not explain anything to avoid spoilers, but the film is political as fuck just like his previous works. I had meant to catch it on the big screen, but you know how that turned out. Thanks to Kino Lorber and two of my favorite places, the Plaza in ATL and Film at Lincoln Center in NYC, I finally caught it as part of the latter’s virtual cinema two days ago.
