Bacurau - first trailer...

Directors: Kleber Mendonca Filho, Juliano Dornelles

Playing in Competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.

Director Mendonca Filho returns to Cannes with his second Competition entry, following 2016’s Aquarius — this time co-writing and co-directing with regular production designer Dornelles. Described as a mixture of western, adventure and sci-fi, Bacurau is set in a small town in the Brazilian backlands that disappears from the map after the death of a woman at the age of 94. Sonia Braga, Udo Kier and Karine Teles lead the cast.
