If you know what this movie is about you already know too much. But knowing too much spikes interest in the movie. This paradox shall now be known as the "What is Udo Kier doing in this movie? Paradox".

Begins as a attractive movie of magical realism, but then descends to excessively violent genre-film. But at least it is kind of anti-colonialist.

The main plot/allegory is simple to the point of being simplistic, but there are so many colorful, surprising moments and characters to make this one very entertaining still.

A remote isolated community band together to survive the onslaught of a group of batshit crazy hunters who seem to be motivated by killing people for sport. Perhaps it was about water rights? Who knows? The people's militia saved many lives and protected the village. It had a few surprisingly good special effects. Otherwise, it was ineffective at engaging the viewer or providing a clear compelling story. Worthwhile, but very shallow.

What starts as a Kiarostami-like look at a secluded Brazilian village gradually turns into something quite different. Eventually, the gradually part is abandoned and this goes full genre complete with Carpenter needle drop. This is wildly inventive and quite funny.

The irony is that the movie structure and technical format, that are very similar to a hollywoodian style (probably Mendonça's work that is the most similar to an american movie), end up being inconsistent with the message of the movie.

There's not a lot of depth to the characters after the first little bit, but it only flirts with most of the genres. It does a lot but some of it isn't handled in a very inspired way. For example: you can barely mention Sci-fi. Sure it's splatter fun but it doesn't do anything we haven't seen in that regard. Despite that, I do admire that it threw so many things together and it had satisfying violence. It also looked great and certainly wasn't boring. Some memorable scenes as well.

Bizarre but refreshing genre hybrid has a multitude of pieces and moving parts which don't (and wouldn't ever) fit together, but this community drama which veers off into sci-fi before becoming a truly demented spin on THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME (with Kier underplaying of all things!) is certainly never boring, even if the overarching point is difficult to discern. Sticks in the memory and would likely benefit a rewatch.

Este é um FILME com letras maiúsculas, sem dúvida. Mas Bacarau gera sentimentos ambíguos. A cultura brasileira é representada por uma cinematografia, interpretação e direção que são de altíssimo nível, chega a ser hipnotizante - esse tipo de filme não vemos todo dia. Porém, a coisa toda perde a originalidade e o tempero quando surgem os americanos e suas intenções - e esse tipo de filme já vimos aos montes.

Starts off great with a very vital funeral scene. Unfortunately you don't get to know the village and its residents any further. Why introduce so many characters when they don't get to do anything and aren't explored any further? The bad guys were just clishés. It shows most in Udo Kier, who's just there because of his looks. The plot and the ideas seem forced and heavy handed and I was glad when it was over.
