About the film:
Bacurau – a settlement in rural Brazil – is shaken by the death of its matriarch. But something strange is happening to the tight-knit village community: the water supply has been cut off, and the village has disappeared from satellite maps completely.
As they find themselves under threat from an unknown enemy, Bacurau braces itself for a brutal fight for its own survival.
An audacious, original and spectacularly violent blend of neo-Western, revenge thriller and political allegory, this winner of the 2019 Cannes Jury Prize is one to explore for those who enjoyed the recent genre-bending thriller Parasite.
