Mapping Bacurau
We regret to inform all Mapping Bacurau screenings have been canceled. See more information here.
Brazilian critic-turned-filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho (Aquarius, Neighboring Sounds) and co-director Juliano Dornelles (the production designer for Mendonça’s previous features) exhilarated audiences at the 2019 New York Film Festival with their searing class warfare fable Bacurau. One of the year’s most audacious and thrilling genre-benders, and winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Bacurau draws on an intricate network of film historical references—from horror and Hollywood pulp to spaghetti westerns to Brazil’s own sharply political Cinema Novo movement. On the occasion of Bacurau’s release at Film at Lincoln Center, Mendonça and Dornelles have handpicked an assortment of films that map the rich cinematic universe to which their inventive, anything-goes creation belongs, featuring works by John Carpenter, Sergio Corbucci, Eduardo Coutinho, and more.

Introduction by Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles
In 1964, Eduardo Coutinho was at work on a film about João Pedro Teixeira, who was murdered by the police as a result of his efforts to organize farm workers in northeast Brazil. Shooting was promptly halted as a result of the military coup that same year, but two decades later the director resumed production, resulting in a prismatically reflexive, genre-defying essay on political commitment and life under dictatorship.The Wicker Man: The Final Cut
