After the death of her grandmother, Teresa comes home to her matriarchal village in a near-future Brazil to find a succession of sinister events that mobilizes all of its residents.
Bacurau was a wild ride—think of it as a savory, unexpected twist in a meal. This Brazilian sci-fi thriller brought me back to the bold storytelling I adore. It's as if a telenovela got hijacked by aliens, with a side of social commentary. The vibrant color palette and engaging performances made me feel like I was dining at a cutting-edge food truck pop-up. This isn't your typical fare, but it's a course worth savoring.
