Kleber Mendonça Filho, Juliano Dornelles, Sônia Braga, and more presented the U.S. premiere of Bacurau at the 57th New York Film Festival to a standing ovation, followed by a Cinema Tropical reception! In this wild shape-shifter, a vibrant, richly diverse backcountry Brazilian town finds its sun-dappled day-to-day disturbed when its inhabitants become the targets of a group of armed mercenaries. Opening this spring at Film at Lincoln Center, Bacurau is a vividly angry power-to-the-people fable like no other.

The 57th NYFF continues through October 13! See all available tickets here. For more photos, check out our NYFF Media Center and follow us on Instagram and Twitter.
