If you loved Aquarius, try Bacurau

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Aquarius, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bacurau is

Brazilian sertão, scorching sun, a dusty funeral procession. A town mourns its 94-year-old matriarch, then vanishes from maps. Filho and Dornelles blend genres with a sharp eye for social commentary.
