WAS THERE A CITY? / "Bacurau", Kleber Mendoza Filho
Screened as part of Cinema Night, the Brazilian film Bacurau resembles a hodgepodge of a western, thriller, comedy and science fiction about a UFO, which later, however, turns out to be an ordinary drone. The action begins from deep space and leads the viewer to the fictional town of Bacurau with a population of no more than 1000 (?) people. Here everyone knows each other, and therefore the death of Carmelita, the mentor of this commune, leaves no one indifferent.
