Four Third-World Christs are the knights of the apocalypse of the Tupiniquim lands, fighting against the greed and “civilizing” violence of the powerful John Brahms, a foreign and unscrupulous explorer.
Incited by the murder of his hero, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Glauber Rocha conjured this breathtaking epic about imperialism, prophecy, and power. Forging Christian myth with Brazilian culture, this rarely-screened experimental swan-song draws an unparalleled portrait of Brazil from the fiery furnace.
