Join Close-Up Cinema for a screening of Black God, White Devil. Myth, mysticism, and revolution collide in a blistering existential Western from Glauber Rocha, a pioneer of Brazil’s socially committed Cinema Novo movement. After killing his swindling boss, ranch hand Manoel goes on the run with his wife, Rosa. In the stark hinterlands, they join forces with armed bandits and pledge allegiance to a self-styled holy man who preaches revolt against rich landowners.
