Black God, White Devil ( Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol ) ( God and the Devil in the Land of the Sun ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import Feature

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: Portuguese ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), French ( Subtitles ), Portuguese ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Widely considered to be the greatest Brazilian film of all time, Black God, White Devil (Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol) influenced such major filmmakers as Martin Scorsese and Sergio Leone and is Glauber Rocha s finest and most moving work. This masterpiece of cinema makes its in its UK theatrical debut, courtesy of Mr Bongo Films An epic and moving work, 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 try to find their place in a ruthless land of corruption, anguish and violence. What makes this film all the more remarkable is the fact that director Glauber Rocha was only 25 years old when he wrote and began filming this masterwork, a film which cries out for man to determine his own path. The picture was nominated for the 1964 Golden Palm award at the Cannes Film Festival and is considered to be a seminal piece of the Brazilian Cinema Novo movement.
