塔林黑夜电影节影评人之选竞赛。Driven by fierce action, dynamic intensity, and unique language this epic thriller reinvents the 1965 classic film adaptation of the 1956 novel “Grande serto: veredas” by Joo Guimares Rosa. In the concrete jungles of lawless futuristic Brazil, enemies spout slam poetry in duels as their movements remind us of parkour. The adrenaline rush breaks into three timelines: the past introduces teenager Riobaldo and handsome Diadorim, the present depicts a bloody clash and reveals sexual identities, and the future exposes Riobaldo’s deal with the devil.The non-linear combat jumps between love and hate, courage and fear, a martyr and a hero. Fatefully connected by silent passion Riobaldo (Romeo) and Diadorim (Juliet) join the motorcycle gang of Joca Ramiro for a great battle against Colonel Z Bebelo’s peacemaking soldiers.
