Wednesday, March 7 at 7:30 pm BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL (Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol) Dir. Glauber Rocher (Brazil, 1964) 131 min. Widely considered to be the greatest Brazilian film of all time.

You're immediately pulled into the brutal vitality of a nation in motion, setting the tone for a picturesque road movie that charts Brazil's renaissance. Two very unlikely souls, a motherless young boy and a lonely retired school teacher become inextricably linked and form an uncommon bond as they venture from the bustling city to Brazil's remote northeast region. |
