G lauber Rocha’s Black God, White Devil is a milestone in Brazilian filmmaking that helped shape the country’s Cinema Novo movement. Heavily influenced by European cinema, Rocha incorporates tropes from the French New Wave and Soviet films, including jump cuts, handheld shots, close- ups and static frames. Blending folkloric and revolutionary themes with absurdism, the film is canonical not just in Brazil’s film history, but the world’s. If I can’t persuade you, perhaps Luis Buñuel can. He called it: “The most beautiful thing I have seen in a decade, filled with a savage poetry.” Oliver Webb, features writer, unearths a Brazilian classic DEFINITION RECOMMENDS: BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL
