Bacurau directors Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles | BFI Q&A

The co-directors of a ferocious neo-western about a town under siege from a mysterious threat talk about their film. Strange things are happening in Bacurau, a small village in rural Brazil. Broken coffins litter the roads, the water supply has been cut off, the mobile phone signal has dropped and the village has completely disappeared from satellite maps. Following Aquarius, Kleber Mendonça Filho shares directorial credit with long-time collaborator Juliano Dornelles in this stuffed-to-the-gills futuristic parable. Evoking Cinema Novo in its wild imagination and fiery socio-political fury, as well as Alejandro Jodorowsky, Sergio Leone and John Carpenter in its ecstatic stylings, Bacurau is darkly sardonic and pleasurably complex.
