When he gets a new contract, however, Antonio is suddenly energized, only to find that his latest target, Coirana (Lorival Pariz), is a charismatic and engaging young leader with meaningful ideas.

      Derek Malcolm Guardian Passion, though it may count for a lot, isn't everything. There's notation to consider too. And this is all on one note, endlessly repeated. Jun 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Walter S Rocha shatters your preconceptions of cinema and imposes his own incisive, intelligent logic upon its language. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Audience Member An epic saga that not only reflects, but creates a Brazil full of simbolism and social critique - Glauber Rocha's masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member hallucinogenic western at it's best, a kind of sequel to 'black god, white devil' Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member There is virtually nothing in this film that hadn't been said before (and in a better way) in Rocha's most iconoclastic films, and it feels contrived, confusing, dull, and repetitious; a real endurance test for the viewer, even with so many evocative shots and mesmerizing tableaux. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member "Deus fez o mundo, e o Diabo o arame farpado." BEM MELHOR que Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol. Tem um certo humor envolvido e umas bizarrices que são sensacionais. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review raphael g Important to watch, if you're a fan of Glauber Rocha and Brazilian culture. Beautifully shot.
