A few years from now… in the small village of Bacurau, the people are in mourning at the loss of the matriarch, Carmelita. Shorty after, the water supply is cut off through nefarious political deals and it appears that the village has vanished from most maps. Worse yet, not far away is a group of foreigners planning something extremely sinister.

Winner of the Jury Prize in Cannes, Bacurau combines political critique and genre mayhem and builds the tension until it explodes in a most unexpected way.

Filmography (Mendonça): Aquarius (2016), Neighboring Sounds (2012).
