Reviews for Black God, White Devil
Simple, black-and-white, more arresting as a shocking polemic than as memorable drama.
Not exactly memorable, more of a small scale curio, but an interesting enough time-passer.
Rocha's project is fundamentally political, and completely unambiguous: he faces up to the contradictions of his country in an effort to understand, to crush mystiques, and to improve.
The fusion of European and Afro-Brazilian elements -- dialogue, exquisite black-and-white images, and music by Villa-Lobos -- is startlingly original and poetical in conveying the hope and despair of the oppressed.
Se este é realmente o melhor filme já realizado no Brasil, não posso dizer – mas certamente é um dos mais importantes e engajados.
