A few years from now... Bacurau, a small village in the Brazilian sertão, mourns the loss of its matriarch, Carmelita, who lived to be 94. Days later, its inhabitants notice that their community has vanished from most maps. 

"We were at the 2009 Brasilia Film Festival for the première of Recife Frio (Cold Tropics, a short film) when we first had the idea of a film taking place in a remote little one street village, with wonderful, non-urban characters. These people and these characters would mostly represent ourselves through a composite of local and regional history (which we admire through books, the spoken word, poetry, stories we just know or grew up with), but remixed through the lens of adventure and genre." [Kleber Mendonça Filho]

"Bacurau grew out of our observations, annoyance and desire to surprise people by showing this poor, remote part of the world getting revenge on people who consider them 'simple,' 'funny' or 'fragile' when they are just as complex and interesting as everybody else. Co-directing came quite naturally. We have always had shared affinities. And it’s never anything less than fun and stimulating to be with Kleber." [Juliano Dornelles]
