If you loved Jauja, try Antonio das Mortes
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Theysit in Drama / Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to Jauja, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Antonio das Mortes is
You track a drifting gunslinger into sunbaked backlands. A sightless landlord contracts you to kill a bandit chief. After the duel the wounded outlaw dies in your arms leaving you staring at his grieving horde. Glauber Rocha’s 1969 camera curls around the sertão’s dust and blood, asking what justice looks like once the trigger’s been pulled.
