Why watch this film?
'Bacurau' is undoubtedly one of the most unique, peculiar and interesting films of Brazilian cinema in recent years. Directors Kleber Mendonça Filho ('Aquarius') and Juliano Dornelles mix the current zeitgeist with the purest culture of northeast Brazil and add a pinch (of blood) of Quentin Tarantino and Glauber Rocha's cinema. The result is precisely a kind of catharsis of the spirit of our time, with a lot of social and political criticism. Without paths or easy answers, the feature film exposes open wounds. It is no wonder that 'Bacurau' was applauded standing at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received the Jury Prize.

Plot summary
Bacurau, a small village in the Brazilian sertão, mourns the loss of its matriarch, Carmelita, who lived to be 94. Days later, its inhabitants notice that their village has literally vanished from most maps and a UFO-shaped drone starts flying overhead. There are forces that want to expel them from their homes, and soon, in a genre-bending twist, a band of armed mercenaries arrive in town picking off the inhabitants one by one. A fierce confrontation takes place when the townspeople turn the tables on the villainous outsiders, banding together by any means necessary to protect and maintain their remote community.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
