(dir. Glauber Rocha, 1964)

Myth, mysticism, and revolution collide in this blistering existential western. After killing his swindling boss, ranch hand Manoel goes on the run with his wife, Rosa. In the stark hinterlands, they join forces with armed bandits and pledge allegiance to a self-styled holy man who preaches revolt against rich landowners while perpetrating unspeakable acts of violence against the innocent.
