A masterwork, 'Black God, White Devil' blends mysticism, religion, and popular culture, into a powerful, bleak and cruel epic, that unashamedly expresses its frustration with many of the major institutions of Brazilian life - government, Church and corrupt landowners. Set in the 1940s, the picture follows Manuel, who kills his employer after he tries to cheat him of his wages. From then on Manuel and his wife, Rosa, move around the country, robbing and killing as they go, listening to the words of religious mystics and self-proclaimed saints as they try to find their place in a ruthless land of corruption, anguish and violence. "The most beautiful thing I have seen in more than a decade, filled with savage poetry." - Luis Bunuel.
