Bacurau is lightly a Western revenge flick that explores sociopolitical problems of class and race in Brazil. It has been described as a "satirical defiance" against new president Jair Bolsonaro. WARNING - it's pretty gory... (But mostly against colonisers).
Bacurau, a small settlement in Brazil's backcountry, is shaken by the death of its elderly matriarch. But something strange is happening in the village. The water supply has been cut off, animals are stampeding through the streets, and empty coffins are turning up on the roadside. A bunch of foreign tourists have holed up in a hunting lodge near Bacurau, armed to the teeth with extremely hi-tech gear. One morning, the villagers wake up to find their home has disappeared from satellite maps completely. Under threat from an unknown enemy, Bacurau braces itself for a bloody, brutal fight for survival.
