Movie Reviews of Deus E O Diabo Na Terra Do Sol (Black God, White Devil)
Movie Review: Uniquely Brazilian.
Summary: 5 Stars
The lynchpin of the Cinema Nova movement, Glauber Rocha crafted this moving portrayal of the underdeveloped, Brazilian sertao at the young age of 25. Set in the 1940's, the film follows a disgruntled cattle rancher who murders his boss after he attempts to swindle him from his already meager earnings. The film follows this character throughout, as he confronts more bloodshed, an immoral priest and one's decision on who's voice to follow, that of religion or his own. Beautifully shot and directed, Rocha depicts the impoverished, Bahian drylands with a stark realism not unlike that of his Italian predecessors. Sweaty, samba music accompanies the visuals throughout, making this an essential piece of Brazilian filmmaking. About the only readily available Rocha film in the US, so grab it if you get the chance.
