Editorial
Glauber Rocha won Best Director at Cannes for his blistering revisionist western: a savage melodrama and lyrical work of revolutionary filmmaking. Elevating the peasant uprisings with colorful and folkloric musical interludes alongside ritualistic tableaux, the film merges realism with the surreal.
