Bacurau

An innovative and fresh work to Brazilian cinema as well as the many genres that the movie digests, and it’s one of the best and most unique approaches to the western in recent years.

A neonoir that could be interpreted as savage and bleak, strangely beautiful, or somewhere in between.

A fun, dark, finely crafted thriller that is somewhat impenetrable.

Wendy

A rustic, rambunctious, modernist interpretation on the classic Peter Pan stories.
