It's Bacurau Time

.
There are suddenly a shit-ton of awesome international movies hitting theaters this weekend! At least as far as New Yorkers go -- I'm not sure about these release dates outside of my little Big Apple bubble, but here we're getting Kelly Reichardt's First Cow (reviewed here), the terrific tummy-terrorism thriller Swallow (reviewed here), the neon-soaked crime-drama The Wild Goose Lake out of China (reviewed here), and last but hardly least out of Brazil the bonkers political pipe-bomb pictured up top called Bacurau (reviewed here). With my 2019 awards on-going I'm not sure how much more I'll be able to say about all of these, but I did manage to get out a few new thoughts on the latter film over at The Film Experience today. I recommend with fervor every single one of these movies I've mentioned but most especially Bacurau, which speaks to out specific moment in time like gangbusters. You'll walk out of it feeling better, and more determined to make the world better too.
