## Description

Product Description








Mauricio do Valle reprises his role as Antonio das Mortes, the troubled hitman from Black God, White Devil. A new incarnation of Cangaceiro bandits, led by Coirana (Loirival Pariz), has risen in the sertão. A blind landowner (Joffre Soares) hires Antonio to wipe out his old nemesis. Yet after besting Coirana and accompanying the dying man to his mountain hideout, Antonio is moved by the plight of the Cangaceiro's followers. The troubled hitman turns revolutionary, his gun and machete aimed towards his former masters.Antonio das Mortes, Glauber Rocha s first film in colour, was awarded Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival of 1969 by a jury headed by Luchino Visconti. Its visual style, radical approach to story-telling and powerful use of music (by composer Marlos Nobre) has had a pervasive influence on film-makers such as Martin Scorsese and Jonathan Demme.












Review








Folk songs, rhymed verse, and lush color fashion a stunning call to arms for the Brazilians and one of the most memorable films of the Cinema Novo --Chicago ReaderThe film is like an epic poem, lionising revolutionaries like Che Guevara as it lovingly photographs the mountains and plains of the country - a land whose people are being destroyed by post-colonial exploitation --The Guardian

    Nice copy, good image and sound
  

*by H***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2017*

Nice copy, good image and sound. I believe one has to know Brasil in dept, not just the most well known cities, specially the North, to understand the almost epic climate of this film where Glauber Rocha mixes together various legends and beliefs that go back to the very roots of Brasil. The "cangaceiros" were bandits and violent killers who sometimes robbed the rich to give to the poor but of course they were persecuted by the established authorities. António das Mortes is a killer of cangaceiros and is sent to a small village to kill the last cangaceiro alive. But in that very small village he understands that the authorities he serves are not much better than the cangaceiros and feels divided, situation will obviously develop to a big tragedy excessively filmed.

    1969 to 2020: are the Brazilian archetypes still battling?
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2020*

A remarkable fable of the perpetual battle between landowners and squatting farmers. Essential knowledge if you want to adress the violence in Brazil and even the deforestation of the Amazonas - who are the bad guys if any? One of the best films ever.
